Merlot, Cabernet Franc & Cabernet Sauvignon. The medium+ intensity nose is ripe and plummy with a mix of red and black fruits, red cherry, and touches of cedary wood & stemmy characters. On the medium-bodied palate it has delicious ripe cassis, black cherry, blackberry, plummy, and sweet wood spice flavours supported by fresh, well-balanced acidity and supple, structured and slightly chalky tannins. Some minty herbals and leafy notes add complexity on the mid-palate. Juicy & succulent with cedar wood spice and savoury cocoa notes lingering on the finish, with very good length. Tasted Nov/2021.
