| Extremely deep intense purple colour. Very slightly spicy, attractive, mature, ripe plum-cherry nose with some cedary fallen leaf notes. Dry, medium to medium-full bodied, quite well structured, slightly spicy, intense, faintly cooked, mature, ripe, plum-cherry flavours with a lingering, faintly earthy, cigar-box finish. This blend of 54% Cabernet Sauvignon and 46% Merlot has 12.5% alcohol and 2 g/L residual sugar with lot number LHB04 on the back label. TONY ASPLER / 92 -points / BEST BUY - Deep purple-ruby in colour; cedary, cigar box, blackcurrant and plum on the nose; elegant, beautifully balanced and firm with plum and currant flavours; still youthful but drinking well now but will hold for a decade.

| TASTING NOTE: This blend of 54% Cabernet Sauvignon and 46% Merlot is from the \"classic\" 2004 vintage - so called because though, relatively speaking, it is not one of Bordeaux's greatest, it was a vintage that delivered the elegance and finesse one expects from this iconic region. As the 2004s have aged, they have evolved into truly charming wines. This one has mature notes of leather and meat tones emerging through tobacco, earth and the still present dark fruit. It has held together very well, offering fine balance and integration. (Vintages panel, March 2017) |
