WineDiva's Review

Sweet, savoury, complex.
This premium blend of Cabernet Franc, Merlot, Cabernet Sauvignon and Petit Verdot has sweet and savoury layers. Blackberry, cherry and currents are woven with spice, chocolate, anise, graphite and leather, Fresh and supple with complexity and impressive posture, it trails soothed out flavours of black fruits, toast, molasses and brown spices.

Recommended Pairings
Rich Meats , Cheese - Hard/Aged, Good First Impressions, Cellar Keepers, French Food
