Matured in 100% new Taransaud Allier barrels for 16 months. Blended with 15% Bordeaux varieties to enhance berry fruit. The perfect wine to add variety to your cellar and spice to your life! Tasting note: Deep colour with almost black centre. Black berry fruit with savoury pepper flavours. Spicy vanilla oak adds to the complexity. Densely packed wine with full bodied structure which will reward a few years in the cellar.
