Tasted blind. Dark garnet color turning orange rust at the rim with a transparent edge. The nose gives off mild aromas of rose petals, oak and vanilla on dark fruits. The palate displays a full body with a smooth texture. Flavors of blackberry, olives, espresso, roasted pine nuts form the core. Medium finish. Drink now until 2021.

Really liked it. A bordeaux blend with Cab sav, cab franc, merlot, petit verdot and malbec, none of the varietals dominating, but the result is harmonious with dark earthy fruits, mouth watering freshness, and very gentle tannins. Drinking very well now. Great value; outperformed the more expensive St Emillions I drank over the Christmas period. I will get more, if I can

Surprisingly fresh and fruity for a 10 year old blend. Not overly complex, medium finish. Very well made, probably will hold for another 5 years.
