92 Points

Thursday, October 14, 2021 - 92% merlot and 8% cabernet sauvignon. But you would never guess it!

Given its Merlot biased, you would like to think it will express some of the Right bank characteristics. But not to be - 18 years on, it expressed more of the cabernet sauvignon on the magic Merlot carpet ride.

It has a potpourri of bouquet that has hints of violet and herbs being wrapped around by cassis. Time has been kind to the body with fine tannin with plenty of fresh acid still available. Body had notes of Ribena, spices and some hints of oak.

A highly enjoyable wine and ready to drink now or in the next 5+ years.
