- A medium-bodied Bordeaux showing concentrated fruit aromas backed by delicate woody notes. In the mouth, it has good freshness, while the structure shows high-quality tannins. Nicely balanced, velvety, and powerful. The grapes were picked at optimum maturity and carefully selected to ensure the quality fruit was vinified. Fermentation took place in temperature-controlled stainless steel tanks, retaining the fragrant aromas and purity of fruit. The wine was then aged 12 months in French oak barrels, imparting subtle complexity. Bottling took place after 18 months.
