"Lovely deep youthful colour, not extracted or black but deep and vigorous. The bouquet is immediately inviting, with a touch of sweet oak, lovely fresh Cassis fruit and a zippy herbal touch from the Cabernet Franc. The fruit has super texture and is easy to approach and drink now, whilst the ripe structure has the backbone too keep this going for 3 to 6 years with ease. An all round winner and a great example of the full supple wines that 2015 has delivered. 87% Cabernet Sauvignon, 10% Merlot, 3% Cabernet Franc"
