Ironclad Bordeaux Blend

Tasting Notes 

Dark black and red berry fruits, graphite, new leather, smoke, spice, and the smell of the sea.

The 2021 is a very hedonistic wine  - seemingly fruit forward and rich but there are layers of complexity that revel themselves as you journey through the bottle.  

A wine that will cellar incredibly well.

Winemaking

Vintage 2021 was exceptional with moderate crops enjoying long periods of dry weather with occasional rainfall to keep the vine canopy in good condition for a long ripening into late Autumn. As always, the vineyards are dry farmed, hand harvested and each parcel fermented and aged separately for an extended period, 30 days in vat and 2 years in barrel.


Reviews and Accolades

The Real Review, Bob Campbell MW: 96/100


A blend of Cabernet Franc, Merlot, Petit Verdot and Cabernet Sauvignon. Silken smooth red with appealing depth and density, together with impressive complexity. Chocolate/mocha, liquorice, dark berry and mocha flavours
