This is a wine of great presence, loaded with classic Cabernet Sauvignon characters of cassis, plums, cedar, red pepper and violets. Despite the depth and complexity of the fruit, the palate remains true to Cabernet form, providing a sleek mouthfeel framed by a long line of fine, chalky tannins. Powerful, aromatic, persistent and charming all at once. While this wine offers enough fruit to be enjoyed in youth, expect five to eight further years of careful cellaring to enhance its overall quality and enjoyment.

Common questions

What food goes with Cabernet Sauvignon?

Roast beef, lamb, steak and hard cheeses are classic matches. The fat and protein soften the wine’s tannins.

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.
