75% Cabernet Sauvignon, 20% Merlot, 5% Cabernet Franc. In 2015, a wonderfully vivid, showy nose of vibrant red fruit dominated by blackcurranty Cabernet Sauvignon, with a touch of strawberry. A splash of crimson fruit on the palate, with real freshness and youthful appeal. Then the sweetness kicks in. Very attractive and glossy - and so easy to imbibe! Serena Sutcliffe, MW
