It is a red wine made from a blend of 86% Merlot, 9% Cabernet Sauvignon, 3% Cabernet Franc and 2% Petit Verdot, and as such is deep in colour, low intensity aromas of red and black fruits intermingle with spice, the tannin level is unexpectedly low, there is a lacking in concentration on both nose and palate but the length is long and fruit driven. The lack of concentration would lead me to believe that there is high yielding or poor vine maintenance and this may follow through to the winemaking. This wine due to the reduced tannin structure and flavour concentration should be drunk soon - and at the price of £11.75 seems good value.
Score : 88
