Good stuff from winemaker Marjolaine de Coninck: there`s a creamy sweetness through the palate, with patisserie notes joining the dark fruit impact of the Cabernet. It`s well balanced and rich, with tannins that build fairly rapidly from the mid-palate onwards - you can feel their impact but they support rather than crush. Fermentation temperature was kept to 26°C to ensure gentle extraction, nicely combining the clear pleasure of this wine with a sense of elegance. 3.65pH. 65% new oak. Harvested 25 September to 12 October. 5% Petit Verdot completes the blend. Drink 2027 - 2042. 94 points
