Made from Cabernet Sauvignon with a very small addition of Cabernet Franc. This is an extraordinary vintage: a huge wine. It has a fairly deep ruby colour with fleeting purplish highlights. Its bouquet is intense, inviting and elegant, with all the typical notes to the fore: leather, lavender, blackcurrants and bilberries. The wood is perfectly and magically integrated with the fruit and so its flavour is supple and refined, with restrained tannins and a sensation of great elegance that holds it all together. I wouldn’t drink it yet; I’d wait a few years. But if you absolutely must have it now, serve it at 18°C (64°F) with a sirloin steak cooked in red wine.
