Description

75% Cabernet Sauvignon, 25% Merlot. 66% new French oak. Sunny, dry September led to late, rapid ripening.
Deep blackish garnet. Quite a powerful nose – lots of beef and muscle but not yet settled down. Tannins and acidity in evidence. Not a charmer – bit of a boxer but it is certainly concentrated and many other tasters were impressed by it. Clean and fresh but it definitely needs food! Drying finish. Not my style of claret at the moment but it will still be going strong in 10 years’ time. Slightly old-fashioned? Jancis Robinson (January 2022) JancisRobinson.com
