Tasting notes
53% Cabernet Sauvignon, 47% Merlot. 30-35% new oak for 12 months. Very deep ruby with an ageing rim. Really interesting, complex nose. Tannins definitely in retreat on the palate but for the satisfaction delivered to lovers of mature claret, this is a totally silly price. Very long again. GV (JR)

Wood spice, roasted herbs and black currants are present in this solidly made, supple blend of 53% Cabernet Sauvignon, 46% Merlot and the rest Petit Verdot. Drink it over the next 4-5 years. (A member of the Association of Crus Bourgeois du Medoc.)
Zesty but a little dry on the finish at the moment. Well structured, gentle damson fruit fills out the middle. Middle of the road. (JH)
