Tasting note
Vibrant red from prestigious Stellenbosch in South Africa, leafy and herbaceous thanks to the high proportion of Cabernet Franc, but also full of blueberries and cassis and elegantly perfumed with coffee and rose petals.
In the press
This is a comparatively traditional, full-bodied cuvée of Merlot with 62% Cabernet Sauvignon, Cabernet Franc and Petit Verdot. Earthy, structured and firm, with liquorice, coffee bean, fig and mulberry flavours and a firm backbone of tannin. 2022-28
91/100 - Aromas of red and black currants, red cherries, red licorice and rosemary. Medium- to full-bodied with silky tannins. Succulent and fresh on the palate with a good concentration and fruity intensity. A blend of merlot, cabernet sauvignon, petit verdot and cabernet franc. Sustainable. Drink now.
