A bouquet loaded with blackberry, blackcurrent and raspberry fruit aromas. Elegantly structured, with refreshing acicity and ample soft, fine grained tannins. There's a real zing to this wine. It has liberal extract and beautifully balanced tannins, the long finish harmonious and satisfying.

...this is 60% Cabernet Cauvignon, 28% Merlot and 12% Cabernet franc, and an absolute pleasure to taste. I had the 2013 two nights ago, after a wash of top end Bordeaux. This is up there. Like Margaux. Dried roses and violets, pencil cases and cedar, black raspberry, blackcurrant, liquorice tea and chai – just magnificent to smell. Medium bodied, saturates the mouth with flavour and ultra-fine toothsome tannin, acidity is weaved through the wine like magic – all minerally and perfumed – spread of graphite tannin runs through its superb length. What a wine. A triumph.
