More Reviews

Opinions about wine differ greatly as the experience is subjective. You may find it helpful to compare this critical evaluation of the wine with mine as well as your own:
The blend is Merlot (50%), Cabernet Sauvignon (24%), Cabernet Franc (21%), Petit Verdot (5%). It is a big wine with muscular, but ripe, tannins, a structure to enable to wine to age 10 or 15 years ...The initial aromas were primarily oak and dark chocolate; plum and cherry aromas developed with time. On the palate, the flavour layers revealed plum, currants, figs, chocolate, with a hint of spice on the finish. With time, a core of delicious ripe fruit flavours emerged. The wine already is throwing a little sediment, a good sign in that it shows great care was taken not to strip anything from the wine with overly aggressive filtering ... Score: 94-96 Source: John Schreiner, johnschreiner.blogspot.com
