"So perfectly balanced “ This wine is in fact 87% cabernet..."
So perfectly balanced “ This wine is in fact 87% cabernet, the rest petit verdot, malbec, merlot and cabernet franc. It has excellent, bright crimson colour, its high quality evident from the first whiff of the bouquet, and built on by the palate; perfectly ripened blackcurrant fruit is the driver, with tannins and fully integrated, fine French oak bringing up the rear. So perfectly balanced, it will likely be drunk long before its natural best-by date” – 96 Points James Halliday
