Notes - The excellent 1998 vintage provided exceptional Merlot and Cabernet Sauvignon fruit to produce a wine of intense, vibrant colour. The aromas of berries and blackcurrants are complemented by leathery overtones from 24 months ageing in French and American oak barriques. The palate is full and soft with excellent length of flavour and fine grained tannin balance, which will ensure longevity.
