  Very forward aromas of ripe dark fruits, liquorice and spice, and tasted fantastic with blue cheese, however the fruit flavours did not stand up against a steak and it tasted rather woody which was disappointing. Rich, silky texture. First vintage of this wine. 61% CF, 23% Me, 15% Ma.

  61.5% Cab Franc, 23.2% Merlot, 15.3% Malbec. Superb Bordeaux Blend from New Zealand. Excellent spiced wood and sweet fruit nose, good acid on the palate, all round very delicious wine. Alcohol handled well, though it's a shame it's so high. If this was half the price it'd be a definite buy. At this price point though, perhaps not... £35, 14%.
