| Deep purple red colour. Fairly intense, slightly spicy, ripe, Damson plum nose with some gently cedary, sandalwood notes. Dry, medium bodied, nicely structured, well balanced, bright, ripe, harmonious, plum-cassis-black-cherrry flavours with a lingering, gently cedary finish. Excellent value, this 100% Merlot is nearing its peak of drinkability. Aged in French oak barriques for 12 months of which 1/3 was new oak, 1/3 1-year-old and 1/3 2-years-old. It has 14% alcohol and 2 g/L residual sugar. |

A Best Buy |
| TASTING NOTE: Fronsac is found on the north bank of the Dordogne River and its blends are typically Merlot-led. This one has plentiful dark fruit, earth and spice and showcases the vibrant acidity and freshness that characterize the reds of the 2022 vintage; a surprise from what was a hot, drought-like year. A great barbecue wine that you can also put aside for holiday dinners through 2030+. |
