60% Cabernet Sauvignon and 40% Merlot, old vines with an average age of 35 years old. Fermentation is in steel vats and the wine is then aged for 1 year in second fill oak barrels. An elegant and supple wine with a good cabernet sauvignon fruit intertwined with spicy notes and mellow and slightly woody tannins. This will drink with red meats, game birds and mature cheeses. At our recent tasting this was very much a star, delicious now but with good potential to age, and ridiculously good value. There's not much left, so don't hesitate!
