An attractively priced red Bordeaux from the Graves region on the region's Left Bank. Merlot-dominant, with 30% Cabernet Sauvignon, this is ripe fruited with blackberry and blackcurrant fruit, a good bite of acidity, and easy-drinking appeal. Unoaked, this a year's ageing in stainless steel before bottling. Decent everyday claret.
