This is fresh and clean with citrus and currant character. Medium body, fine tannins, and a delicate finish. A little lean but I like it. Clarity of fruit here. Give it three or four years to soften. Try in 2017.

Chunky cherry and black currant fruit emerge from this medium-bodied, tasty, pure Pauillac. Although there is not a lot of depth, texture or length, what is there is pleasant. Drink it over the next 7-10 years. Drink Date: 2014 - 2024

Winemaker

Harvest: 12 to 28 September
Varietal mix: Cabernet Sauvignon 57%, Merlot 28%, Cabernet Franc 13%, Petit Verdot 2%
Tasting notes: A deep, dark colour with a ruby hue, the wine has a refined and delicate nose that reveals aromas of jammy, ripe berry fruit, combined with roasted, toasted notes.
Ripe fruit flavours persist on the palate, underpinned by a structure of firm, attractively close-knit tannins, leading into a long finish that lingers on the ripe fruit flavours.
A classic vintage, ready for drinking now.
