Tasting notes
Blackberries and blueberries with dried flowers, such as lavender. It’s full-bodied with tight, chewy tannins that are polished and pretty. Flavorful finish with lots of spices and herbs at the finish, as well as blackcurrants and walnuts. Drink now.

Tasted blind. Mid crimson. Slightly stewed nose and rather a lack of freshness on the palate but it’s a solid cocktail of southern French flavours. Just a little soupy with a bit of dryness on the end. No shortage of slightly rustic tannin. (JR)
Smelling like a classy Right Bank Bordeaux, the 2015 Grand Vin is a blend of 57% Merlot, 15% Cabernet Franc, 13% Syrah, 11% Malbec and 4% Cabernet Sauvignon. Cigar box and cassis notes lead the way, followed by hints of pencil shavings, charred barrel and dark chocolate. It's medium to full-bodied, with a fine, long and slightly dusty finish that suggests around a decade of ageability.
