Medium ruby-garnet in colour. A full bouquet of classic Cabernet Franc (which makes up nearly 50% of the blend) with notes of graphite, dried herbs and hedgerow fruit. The palate is compact and precise, with moreish and savoury fruit at the core framed by crunchy but balanced tannic structure. There is some mid-palate plumpness from the Merlot, but everything is well measured. This cool, midweight and fresh wine is at its apex now while the fruit and mature, earthy tones of bottle age are in perfect balance.
