A blend of merlot, cabernet franc, petit verdot and cabernet sauvignon that combines density with complexity. Alcohol sweetness balances ripe tannins to give a pleasantly dry finish. Accessible now but should develop well with bottle age. 20 APR 2023 Drink 2023–2033
95 points Bob Campbell MW therealreview.com
The palate is a similarly complex, a deep and mysterious character with layers of flavour from black berry, cassis, exotic spice, graphite, mushroom and a touch of salt liquorice. Cabernet Franc, Merlot, Petit Verdot, Cabernet Sauvignon, Malbec
