Red, Bordeaux, France

An attractive, intense deep red colour in the glass. This is a lovely mix of Merlot (55%), Cabernet Sauvignon (41%) and Petit Verdot (4%). It has a powerful, expressive nose with complex aromas of black fruit and of fine oak-barrel ageing with toasty and smoky hints. The palate is rich and full with supple and silky tannins. Good length, with very ripe fruit on the finish. It’s drinking very well now but will keep till 2027 or 2028 with ease. 13.5% alcohol.
