Decanter Fine Wine Encounter (The Landmark, London): Medium minus intensity aromas prove slightly meaty, savoury, herbaceous/pyrazine notes, red over black fruit, sweet spice, a little pencil shavings. Fresh, fleshy, juicy, tight tannins are quite woody, chalky and drying though the fruit persist beneath this, a little chalky minerality. good for the vintage.

With licorice, chocolate, plum and floral notes on the nose, the wine is fresh, spicy, medium bodied and plush with a soft chocolate, red plum and stone-driven finish. From 80% Cabernet Franc and 20% Merlot, the wine reached 12.9% alcohol with a pH of 3.65. The yields were 26 hectoliters per hectare. 90-92 Pts
