Drinking Window: 2019 - 2029
It's a Bordeaux blend of 75% Cabernet Sauvignon and 25% Merlot, aged 14 months in French oak. It has ripe cherries and blackcurrant fruits on the nose, plus hints of sweet spices and dried roses. The palate is fruit-driven with juicy red and black berry notes, which open up to layers of liquorice, wet earth and dried herbs, supported by ripe and textured tannins. The finish is warm and spiced.
