Deep in colour, 2017 Series M has an intense smoky nose with graphite, vanilla and wood seasoning over dark fruits with ripe blackcurrants. It is medium bodied, soft and mouth-filling with a grainy texture. Black and bitter cherries, a plump mid palate and oaky flavours create an elegant wine with persistent finish. 2017 is a blend of 42% Merlot, 39% Malbec and 19% Cabernet Sauvignon. It was matured for 21 months in French oak barrels with nearly a quarter new.
