This exceptional Cabernet Sauvignon comes from a limestone-rich single vineyard plot blessed with its own microclimate. The powerful nose highlights notes of balsamic and wild aromatic herbs, along with spicy black pepper and clove. The full bodied palate opens with juicy blackcurrant and a hint of zesty orange peel, giving way to fresh bay and warming oak on the long, voluptuous finish. After 19 months ageing in new French oak barrels, the wine is ready to reveal its charms, but can be left in the bottle to age for a further five years.

Common questions
What does Cru Classé mean on Bordeaux?
It means the estate was ranked in an official classification, most famously the 1855 classification of the Médoc and Graves. It shows status, not a guarantee of style or quality in every vintage.
Does Cabernet Sauvignon need decanting?
Young, structured Cabernet often benefits from an hour in a decanter. Older bottles may have sediment and should be poured carefully. Everyday fruity Cabernet is usually fine straight from the bottle.
