Made from all five Bordeaux varietals with a splash of Syrah, which Iā€™m always a big fan of. Big and bold, but also charismatic and fresh, despite the high alcohol. Ā Aged 18 months in French oak barrels, including 30% new oak. The oak is present, but never overpowering.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"MsoNormal\"\u003eĀ \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"MsoNormal\"\u003eEven at this early stage, the nose is already complex and expressive, showing layers of ripe raspberry, black currant, black cherry, tobacco box, a hint of graphite, spice, pepper, and well-handled wood.

Itā€™s quite elegant, but at the same time powerful and concentratedā€¦a rare combination. The finish is long, deep, and the finish evolves for almost a minute.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"MsoNormal\"\u003eĀ \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"MsoNormal\"\u003eAbsolutely spectacular.
