An elegant, shy nose that hints at capsicum and black pepper. A more generous palate of juicy, red plums and maraschino cherries. Complex and attractive.

Serious Pessac, with fine, fresh aromas of black fruits and tea. More rich, dark fruit on the palate, firm, with a classic savoury aspect. Underlying freshness, fine supporting tannins, and a mint-lifted, lingering finish.

DWWA Gold

Gold
Decanter World Wine Awards

Discreet and delicate, with aromas of dark, brooding, blackberry fruit, precise minerality and smoked meat coated in cracked black pepper. Firm but suave with waves and waves of flavour, the ripe fruit is couched in velvety, grainy and high quality tannins, then a complex, very long finish. A delicious paradox.

Regional Trophy
Decanter Asia Wine Awards

Intense and complex on the nose with ripe red fruit, rich, sweet oak and savoury spice. Notes of animal maturity and mushrooms in a very traditional style. Supple yet firm tannin, fine acidity with a crisp, mineral backbone. Lashings of flavour on the long finish.
