This wine was aged for a minimum of 12 months in French oak with 40% being new and the grapes were made up of 85% Cabernet and 15% Merlot. This wine is highly complex and elegant with well-integrated fruit and oak creating a very attractive and complex range of aromas. Dark fruits such as cherries and blackberries dominate with hints of cedar. Very Bordeaux-like and one to add in the trolley!
