Colour: Bright brick-red.
Bouquet: Fully lifted five-spice, mulberry and ripe plum making for a very complex and deep aroma. The spice comes from the Allier French Oak and is so very suited to Merlot. The maturity in the aromas comes through the extra time in Allier oak and gives a fragrance that no other oak seems to give.
The fully ripened grapes play a big part in the depth and intensity of the bouquet.
Taste: Rich, full-on flavour not heavy at all but very rewarding. Abundant soft drying tannins and distinct taste of dark red fruits all in balance. A big wine with power and elegance in the structure and with an impressive individual style.
Overall: A truly sophisticated wine made with care to fuller oak maturation.
This wine needs to be decanted before tasting and recognition that the second sip will be better than the first.
A wine that will be at its best in 10 years time.
