James Halliday says: ‘Exceptionally deep crimson-purple; a barrel selection of the best parcels from the '11 vintage, itself a memorable year; intense blackcurrant fruit is layered with plum ex the malbec, and supported by plentiful, but ripe, tannins, French oak adding yet another dimension.

This blend of Cabernet Sauvignon (80%) and Malbec is a wonderful tribute to the founder of Flametree Wines. The JJ was a barrel selection of our best Cabernet Sauvignon and Malbec from the great 2011 vintage. The Cabernet gives the wine wonderful structure and power whilst the malbec contributes flesh and generosity. Classic Cabernet aromas of cassis, black current and dark chocolate are fleshed out with the plum and cherry fruit flavours of the Malbec.
James Halliday says: ‘Exceptionally deep crimson-purple; a barrel selection of the best parcels from the '11 vintage, itself a memorable year; intense blackcurrant fruit is layered with plum ex the malbec, and supported by plentiful, but ripe, tannins, French oak adding yet another dimension. This wine will still be kicking goals 40 years on from its vintage; give it a chance for at least 10 years.’
