FranceA 65/20/15 blend of merlot, cabernet sauvignon, and cabernet franc, this deeply coloured Bordeaux leads with luscious dark fruits lifted by perfumed violets and balanced oak. There's no shortage of ripeness here, reflecting the long, warm 2019 growing season, but the wine still retains its freshness, with structured, fine-grained tannins that are in harmony with the impressive fruit weight. There's a lot to like here. And at this price? Back up the truck and buy by the case.Tasted: 11 August 2022Tasted by: Prices:

FranceA merlot (65%) dominant blend with some cabernet sauvignon (20%) and cabernet franc (15%). The immediate impression is the evident oak on the nose showing cedar and clove, albeit overpowering the fruit. Youthful ripe red cherries and blackcurrants unveil later on the palate along with a touch of floral notes. Perhaps it needs a bit more time for the oak to integrate with the fruit, but as it is, it will appeal to those looking for a modern expression of Bordeaux at a fair price point.Tasted: 24 September 2022Tasted by: Prices:
