54/36/6/2/2% cabernet, merlot, petit verdot, malbec and franc, fermentation and mlfcompleted in new and used French barriques. An elegant, neatly groomed wine, the Bordeaux blend coming together in a synergistic whole; the tannins are sufficiently fine to make this a now or later style.

Bright young purple colour, intense aromas of fresh crushed blackcurrants, with their herbaceous overtones. Lifted, leafy and aromatic. The palate is medium bodied at most, with softness and immediate drinkability, moderate length and a hint of greenness. A simple but pleasant cabernet with obvious varietal character.
