(blend of 45% Merlot, 35% Tannat & 20% Cabernet Sauvignon)
50% aged in French oak, 50% in second fill US oak, all for 7 months.
Deep concentrated red with cedary, red berry nose. Mocha, spices and dried plum on the palate. Smooth with firm tannins. Needs decanting, then opens up to show real balance, suppleness and touch of caramel on a long, fresh finish.
Serve with well flavoured dishes, roast meats, game or those containing a wine sauce.
