    This 65% Merlot wine is ripe, fruity and soft. Coming from a light vintage, it is ready to drink with its blackberry fruits and supporting tannins.

  • 201291 pts

    This is a full-bodied wine, perfumed by its 25% Cabernet Franc and given a juicy fruitcake character by the smooth Merlot. It does still retain a crisper juicy acidity that will develop well as it ages over the next few months. Drink from late 2017.

  • 201190 pts

    New wood aromas are still strongly evident in this young and fruity wine. It has ripe tannins, a juicy character and attractive, forward fruitiness. The aftertaste has delicious acidity and freshness.
