Tasting notes
It is easy to find the smoke, tobacco and crisp cassis here. Not a Pauillac of depth and structure, instead you find a wine of freshness and refinement. Give this a few years in the bottle and enjoy it over the next 15 years or more.

67.5% Cabernet Sauvignon, 26.5% Merlot, 6% Petit Verdot. 50% new oak for 14 months. Bluish crimson. Primary, scented cassis with a touch of cedar from the oak but it is backgrounded by the fruit. More cedary on the palate but excellent freshness. All in embryo but all in place for a long life. Persistent too. Very Pauillac. (JH)
67% Cabernet Sauvignon, 27% Merlot, 6% Petit Verdot. Deep crimson. Dusty, dark-fruited finesse on the nose with a touch of cedar/pencil. Refined, fragrant, almost smoky. Elegant, fine-boned tannins and a long fresh finish. (JH)
Blackish crimson. Sweet, floral nose. Very soft. Where are the tannins?! Salty end. Easy to like but not very serious. (JR)
