This delicious claret looks to the classic Bordeaux blend of Merlot enlivened with a dollop of Cabernet. Very knit for a 2022, the nose shows ripe fruit driven by classic Cabernet notes of cassis and menthol together with Merlot's softer plum and mulberry; jammy black fruit is supported by a hint of cooler red currant and cranberry. Beguiling and already starting to show well, this will be a joy in a year's time with both the concentration of fruit and layers of flavour necessary to age gracefully. 2024-2027–MP
