A blend of 83% Cabernet Sauvignon and 17% Merlot.

Powerful aromas of blackberry, graphite, currants, spice and plum.  Silky and suave on the palate, with plenty of fine, chalky mineral flavours to go with the elegant, ripe red and dark fruits.  Excellent freshness and extremely fine, polished tannins.  Very complex and with a long-lasting finish, this is the epitome of elegance with power.  97 points, drink 2020 to 2050.
