Made in a more opulent Merlot style, this wine has been matured in new 2251 Nevers barriques for 24 months. A dark purple colour. Reveals a bouquet of ripe black cherries, spices and vanilla, exhibiting moderate tannin, decent acidity, with admirable sweetness and concentration with a succulent finish. Fine extraction of flavour, ripe, rich and full bodied.
