Note di degustazione
65% Cabernet Sauvignon, 30% Merlot, 5% Cabernet Franc. Harvested 9 to 26 September. Deep core with brick at the rim. Subtle sous-bois and red-fruit notes. Perhaps a note of prune but fresh all the same. Sweet palate but sufficient acidity to provide freshness. A bit monotone but very good for the vintage and still holding up. Slightly drying finish.

This evolved 2003 exhibits lots of smoky barbecue spices intermixed with notes of cedarwood, underbrush, damp forest, plums and figs. Medium-bodied, fully mature and relatively complex, it requires consumption over the next 4-5 years.
Mid garnet. Sweet and red-fruited. As Sebastian Payne MW (bordeaux buyer at the Wine Society for many years) says, put it in a burgundy bottle and everyone would love it. Just a touch of cigar box and cedar freshness to suggest a Cabernet influence. Generous and rounded on the palate, the red fruit lovely and deeply present. Fully resolved and ready now. Don't wait.
