Matured in a new 4000l French foudre for 12 months, then to a used 4000l foudre for a final 10 months, 5% cabernet franc added. A thoroughly elegant and poised cabernet, opening with cassis/ blackcurrant, then a matrix of oak, cedar, dried herb and savoury tannins taking the wine through to a powerful conclusion.
