A meticulously made claret combining five of the six permitted Bordeaux varieties. Cabernet Sauvignon and Merlot provide the backbone of silky tannins and rich plum and cassis flavour, Cabernet Franc adds leafy raspberry notes, Carmenere brings lush cherry and chocolate and a splash of Petit Verdot gives inky depth. A portion of the wine was fermented in French oak, adding a seam of spicy vanilla to the rich complex flavours. Elegant and long. 12.5%
