A very stylish, judiciously oaked blend of Merlot, Cabernet Sauvignon and Cabernet Franc: well-defined floral, dark fruit and oak-derived aromas are in perfect proportion. The same balance is evident on the palate with fresh acidity and vivid flavours to counter the firm, full-bodied palate. Allow a little resting time in cellar to allow the tannins to soften ever so slightly. 2025-2032–JB
