This beauty of a red blend starts off with Merlot and ends with Malbec and sandwiches the Cabernets in the middle, all aged 20 months in 30% new oak, and what a wine it is: Nose starts off subtle to non-existent but then it roars onto the palate with a real ferocity and richness - smoky-cassis, black cherry, tobacco and white pepper, then ends with a silkiness of tannins you would not expect.
