54% Cabernet Sauvignon, 31% Merlot, 8% Malbec, 6% Cabernet Franc, and 1% Petit Verdot. This wine has matured in French oak for 14 months and 5% of the barrels used were new.

The colour is a very dark red, with crimson hue.

Exuberant aromas explode from the glass.  The nose features dark red fruits and mixed berries, violet and sage, with a hint of toasty French oak.

The palate is seamless and integrated, very dense and powerful.   Waves of soft ripe fruits combine with the array of ripe velvety tannins, finishing with lively acidity.

Simply outstanding – This wine can absolutely be enjoyed now, but will be fantastic until 2033.

Pair with:
Roasted duck breast with a blackberry and peppercorn jus, pommes anna.
BBQ ribs with hoisin sauce, braised Asian greens.
Gnocchi with sage, butter, and shaved parmesan.
