57% merlot, 43% cabernet sauvignon matured in French hogsheads (10% new) for 18 months. This is a particularly enjoyable Abbotts Prayer, the seamless union of merlot and cabernet translating as a perfectly balanced juicy stream of red and blackcurrant fruit, oak and tannins there or thereabouts, but no more.

Very deep crimson in colour. Enticing aromas of blueberry coulis, blackcurrant, mulberry and cassis with fragrant nuances of forest floor, dried mint and a touch of cedar. The deep and concentrated palate of ripe mulberry and blue and black berry fruit flavours are complemented by notes of cedar and mocha, with balanced acidity and fine structured tannins providing focus and excellent length.
