    Justerini & Brooks Tasting note

    51 Cabernet Sauvignon, 45 Merlot, 3 Petit Verdot, 1 Cabernet Franc. Lovely perfumed aromas of wild berries, graphite, cedar and chocolate liqueurs. The attack is pure, focused and precise with a big burst of cassis fruit on the palate. Wonderful texture with silky smooth tannins. It finishes with long flavours of cool creme de cassis fruit. A splendid effort.

    Ian d'Agata,
    Vinous
    (51% cabernet sauvignon, 45% merlot, 3% petit verdot and 1% cabernet franc) Medium-deep ruby. Classic Medoc nose of blackcurrant, graphite and cedar is presently a little closed. Enters the mouth full and silky, with bright blackberry and plum flavors and fine-grained tannins. Finishes moderately long and very clean, though just a touch warm.
