A very dark Ruby colour. Rich flavours on the full bodied palate. Jancis said a Bordeaux trying to be Californian - a fair comment IMO but delicious nevertheless. Not particularly Saint Emillion as the fruit is way riper than usual. Black plum, mulberry and a hint of sweet pipe tobacco. Even at 18 years of age I may have drunk this a little early. 70% Merlot, 20% Cabernet Franc, 10% Cabernet Sauvignon. The next night still rich and powerful.

Birthday Bottle. 2006 Vintage, last bottle I had of this wine. Extremely well layered with an exceptional finish. This wine could age another 5-10 years.

This wine is extremely complex and full of minerals. Still needs a good 5 years of aging before it will really show.
