Give this wine a good airing in a decanter to get at all it has to offer, which is a lot of rich oak spice over mixed berry fruit, with an emphasis on the blue side of the spectrum. The oak is still integrating and will remain bright even after a few years of bottle age, but for fans of big spice it’ll fit the bill. Contains 37% Malbec, 37% Petit Verdot and 26% Cabernet Sauvignon.
