| Extremely deep intense purple colour. Slightly spicy, intense, bright, ripe plum-cherry nose with some cedary sandalwood notes. Dry, medium-full bodied, well structured, ripe plum-cherry flavours with a lingering, very faintly smoky, sandalwood-cedar finish. This blend of 41% Merlot, 30% Cabernet Sauvignon, 18% Cabernet Franc, 8% Malbec and 3% Petit Verdot. has 14.4% alcohol and 4 g/L residual sugar. Much better than the 2012 (**) released on October 11, 2014 at $52.95. |

A Best Buy |
| TASTING NOTE: This is a blend of 41% Merlot, 30% Cabernet Sauvignon, 18% Cabernet Franc, 8% Malbec and 3% Petit Verdot. Dark in hue, the wine begins with aromas of black cherry, cassis, vanilla and cloves. The wine has an appealing core of fruit on the palate, including flavours of blueberry, black currant and black cherry with a hint of spice and chocolate. The long ripe tannins and the 19 months of barrel-aging give the wine an incredibly polished elegance and a finish that persists.
