91/100
Cabernet Franc, Merlot, Malbec, Petit Verdot and Cabernet Sauvingon. Quite a complex wine with subtle power although in an elegant rather than blockbuster style. Attractive berry and savoury characters including blackberry, cedar, bramble, new leather and spicy oak. Classy wine that can be appreciated now but will age well.
