 Each vintage is special in its own, and the 2018 vintage is no different. It has combined the powerful qualities of the 2015 vintage along with the brilliant structure seen in 2016 and created an elegant wine with a strong backbone. The nose showcases more earthy aromas than fruit, highlighting nutmeg, cypress and roses. On the palate, the entrance is supple with luscious mouth filling tannins and expresses flavors of black cherries, candied apples and licorice. This beautifully layered blend carries through to a long, spicy finish with hints of balsamic, cloves and white pepper.

Blend: 52% Merlot, 38% Cabernet Franc, 8% Cabernet Sauvignon, 2% Petit Verdot

 

94 Points, Deacanter

The first Bordeaux blend of the estate, based on Merlot and Cabernet Franc with a shot of Cabernet Sauvignon and a drop of Petit Verdot, is aged in 30% new French oak barrels for 18 months. It is restrained at present, scented with violet and cassis, undergrowth, chocolate and eucalyptus. It's smooth on the palate, with creaminess and great ripeness, super-refreshing and savoury. In the classic 2018 vintage this is definitely more elegant than powerful.
