"52% Cabernet Sauvignon, 39% Merlot, 6% Cabernet Franc, 3% Petit Verdot. Shiny dark berry fruit aromas, very pure. The palate is crunchy and airy, offering raspberry and redcurrant flavours with bitter cherry, lifted by fresh acidity and framed by nicely fruit-coated tannins, which are deceptively powerful. This will be highly drinkable in the medium term, with good ageing potential thereafter. The average vine age here now is 50-55 years old. Harvested between 7th September and 10th October. 50% new oak. 13.5% abv. C&B Score: 17.5-18Drinking dates: 2029-45Case of 6 bottles: £395 IB UK"
