Description

Ripe and stalky fruit on the nose, lots of Cabernet markers. Ripe, fleshy, chewy and filling, this really coats the mouth; it’s ripe but not heavy, with the grippy tannins giving way to the acidity and touches of toast towards the finish. I like the bolder style; it has depth and character and certainly isn’t too lean or too focused. Good plumpness and it feels like they got the Merlot ripe. Appealing and characterful. Very approachable already, with an appealing digestibility. I like the acidity and sense of fresh lift on the finish. Nicely structured. 50% grand vin production. Ageing in 55% new oak, the rest in one‑year‑old barrels. 94 Points Decanter
