This wine is from the very good 2009 Bordeaux vintages and is a
blend of 80% Merlot with the remaining 20% equal parts Cabernet Sauvignon and
Cabernet Franc, the grapes are hand-harvested and the wines are matured in oak barrels
for 14 months, alcohol
comes in at 13.5%.
A deep ruby in color, this wine opened up with
aromas of blackberry, blueberry, plum, dried violets, damp heart and prunes. On
the mouthfeel, a medium-full bodied wine with spicy fruit flavours, mild
acidity and firm tannins. Robust with good weight and texture on the finish, rich
flavours and persistent tannins lingering. Nice and enjoyable plummy Merlot,
made to be enjoyed at the table. Score 88 points.
