The Bordeaux-blend version, with Cabernet Sauvignon and Petit Verdot alongside Malbec, which adds structure the grape lacks alone. More serious than the straight Malbec at the same price.

Description
How it tastes
Intense floral aromas of violet and lavender, layered with black pepper, liquorice, and toasty oak spice over ripe black fruits. Concentrated and richly textured, showing flavours of blackberry, dark plum, and cocoa. Fine-grained tannins and a balancing lift of acidity deliver structure and elegance through a long, satisfying finish.
