Drinking Window: 2019 - 2030
Always fairly high in Merlot, you can feel its influence in the rich, round, Pomerol-esque structure, although the silky tannins are more insistent and the black fruits only come in on the mid-palate. It's a little austere on the finish, which suggests it will age well, and there's real impact to the high quality fruit. 50% new oak.
