Medium garnet. This delivers a feisty nose packed with black olive, black pepper, mint and black fruits. The palate has bags of old-world identity and is wonderfully gamey: beef stock, forest floor and earthy notes are the signature Merlot-Cabernet Sauvignon Bordeaux indicators. Subtly sweet butterscotch and cedar from 18-24 months of 50% new and 50% one-year-old oak round off the palate. Can be cracked 2024-2025 but finishes with admirable strength. 2024–2026–MP
