The magnificent 2015 vintage of this blend comprises of a symphonic blend of the five Bordeaux varietals. This Right-Bank Bordeaux-style blend showcases aromas of red fruits, mulberries and blueberries. You’ll find it tantalizingly soft on the palate. A pure and soft integration of oak lends a creamy finish with a hint of aniseed on the nose. It follows through perfectly on the palate, revealing juicy-red fruit. The integrated, complex and finely knit tannins of this (53%) Merlot-dominant blend finish off velvety, yet the blend is vibrant and expressive. 

Cellar master Albie Koch and winemaker Charles Williams both believe in elegant, nuanced and silky soft wines. The wine sits right within those parameters. The quality of the grapes from this unique vintage has brought us an amazing wine. Drinking already very well now and promising much more for the future, do not buy too few….
