Region: Medoc, Bordeaux, France
Varietal: 50% Merlot, 45% Cabernet Sauvignon & 5% Cabernet Franc
Tasting Notes:Â Very solid, saturated colour and offers copious, forward and juicy black fruit aromas: ripe black cherries and blackcurrant. Oak is very subtle. On the palate this has a firm, sinewy, lean and meaty concentration. The sweetness of that cherry and plummy fruit is there, the Merlot adding bit of fleshiness, but it is the savoury grip and concentrated, liquoricy lick of tannin and acidity that gives this its drive. Very nice stuff in a slightly austere, but savoury style.
