It is a Bordeaux blend with 38% Cabernet Sauvignon, 24% Merlot, 22% Cabernet Franc, 10% Malbec and 6% Petit Verdot. Dark ruby with crimson/brick red hue, showing aroma of dark plum, black cherry, dried fruits and spice. Slightly sweet on entry, some nice leafy minty character of Cab Sau, with deep plum fruits, blackcurrant and plenty of spice at the finish exhibit Cabernet Franc/Petit Verdot character. Drinking nicely now, mellow and soft on palate. Fine tannins with medium finish. Good but not impressive.

On the nose bottle age and holy cow, here comes the v8 tomato juice action. Flat, no acid, almost dead, I hope you like tomatoes in your wine.

I've had this since purchase stored in a wine fridge but the wine was like old drien herbs. Not much to recommend it.

This is an excellent wine made even better by the fantastic price! Velvety, fruity. Decanting only improves it!

Incredible dense creamy flavour of milk chocolate and toffee - not a classic Bordeauxstyle by any stretch of the imagination.
