While I was hoping for something slightly better in 2009 this is still a seductive blend of 50% Cabernet Sauvignon 40% Merlot and 10% Cabernet Franc bottled after 12 months to retain its fruit. With a very sweet spot in the middle although it is technically dry it exhibits loads of black currants roasted herbs and tobacco leaf as well as hints of underbrush and forest floor. This medium-bodied wine is forward enough to drink over the next decade.
