Tasting notes
Loads of fruit, low acidity and a big, black currant and cedar nose jump from the glass of this medium-bodied, attractive and luscious style of wine to drink over the next 5-6 years. It is a blend of 70% Cabernet Sauvignon and 30% Merlot. (A member of the Association of Crus Bourgeois du Medoc.)

70% Cabernet Sauvignon, 30% Merlot. Dark chocolate sweetness on the nose. Juicy and firm at the same time, so the tannins are present but the finish is fluid. Has the slight austerity of the Cabernet dominance. (JH)
Dark crimson. Ripe, almost fleshy nose. Positively plummy palate entry but lots of energy and life on the palate stops it being too much. Worth watching this one. Just fines itself down a little on the finish. (JR)
