<p>91% Cabernet Sauvignon, 8.5% Merlot, 0.5% Petit Verdot.

"96% Cabernet Sauvignon, 3% Merlot, 1% Petit Verdot. Sweet blackcurrant and liquorice aromas, with a creamy edge. The palate’s graphite and cassis are super-classical, blackberry fruit peppered with those fabulous Lafite pencil shavings, framed by fine, clipped tannins.
