A high-flyer, yet down to earth

Ruby-red in colour with articulate aromas of blackcurrant, cedarwood and an undertone of mint. A full, supple body and well-balanced match of fruit and acidity with delightfully soft tannins. A reasonably priced Bordeaux at an ideal age for drinking.
Alcohol by volume: 12.5%, serving temperature: 16–18°C.
