Tasting Note
Adam Bilbey: 53% Merlot, 6.3% Cabernet Franc, 40.7% Cabernet Sauvignon. More reserved and reticent than the La Mission on the nose, with the weight and power slowly enveloping out. As usual this is discrete that commands attention. Cassis, blackcurrant, berry and, fresh alpine forest coolness. Lovely overriding freshness. An opulent and sweet core of cassis and blackcurrant fruit. Pure and multi layered, this does not have the power and extract of a great vintage but it’s so, so refined and precise. Very tight but silky tannins. Not the biggest but fresh refined and perfectly formed.
