4* rating in Wine Magazine
A Bordeaux blend of Cabernet Sauvignon (65%), Merlot (34%) and Cabernet Franc (1%) produced only in the best years. Seductively perfumed with ripe red berries and cassis, cedar and hints of chocolate, the wine follows through with a silky, balanced palate and long concentrated finish. The serious oaking and 10 year ageing potential is masked by the wineâ€™s svelte charm.
