Dark ruby. Nose is clean and medium (+). Smoky, black and dark red fruits, black pepper, some nice banyard/forest floor. Throwing off a bit of heat at the moment. Dry with medium (+) acidity. Medium (+) tannins. Body is medium (+). Flavour is full and palate has blackberries, dark fruits, red fruits, spice, . Finish is medium +. Very good complexity for this price point, punching above its weight. Again signs that 2016 vintage is a big powerful structured vintage that also flavours early pleasure.

Deep color. Nose > Rich red fruit, with a thread of pretty, herbal spice & lavender. Palate > Big, rich, round, ripe, smooth dark fruit. Great balance. Med+ intensity. Some grippy oak/skin tannins. A fruity beauty. 14% ABV 45 hl/hc (2.8 tons/acre) 80% Merlot, 18% Cab Franc, 2% Cab Sauvignon

Beautiful and smoky bouquet with dark berries. On the palate juicy dark fruits, good acidity, a touch of sweetness and round tannin with a firm bite.
