Description

Levels IN, excellent appearance, packed in 3 x 75cl OWC.

60% Cabernet Sauvignon, 29% Merlot, 6% Petit Verdot, 5% Cabernet Franc. 18–20 months in French oak, 80% new. Malo in barrel. pH 3.69.
Deep garnet with ruby rim. Cedar, cassis and spice dominate here on the nose – I thought it would smell riper than this but as it opens this side is revealed. Very Cabernet in its aroma even though there is quite a dollop of Petit Verdot that adds its own perfume. Smells generous and forthcoming. On the palate there are more tertiary flavours, a definite mature taste of undergrowth, unexpected freshness and a slight suggestion that the tannins are gaining ground on the fruit but currently showing finesse. This gives the impression of firm extraction in the dry, grainy finish but it’s still clearly in balance for quite a bit longer in bottle. Rather leathery on the finish.

This superb collection is part of the estate of a passionate wine lover who generously shared his knowledge and bottles with family and friends. Acquired over the past two decades from well-respected UK merchants, the collection brims with wines both for current drinking and future enjoyment: Claret, Sauternes, Rhone and Tuscan wines were particular favourites, not forgetting New World regions and fabulous Vintage Ports. All lots were meticulously stored in a temperature-controlled cellar in an imposing Bath stone townhouse and recently packed by Bid for Wine before transfer to LCB.
