Lea & Sandeman review
This is drinking beautifully; very pure and fresh, with a lovely nose that recalls a hot day on the edge of a wood - warm woodsy scented air and ripe blackberries. Very beautifully balanced and long. A fabulous bargain from the supremely elegant Veronique Sanders who is making some of the best wine in the Graves.
Other reviews and comments
Merlot, Cabernet Sauvignon, Cabernet Franc. Very smart oak and integrity. Solid stuff, probably not overpriced. Planed down so that it is drinkable at this stage. Beautifully made. 2012-2017

Mixed Cases
Some of the best value in Bordeaux comes from the "second" wines of the big estates. These are made up of the fruit of younger vines, or barrels that don't quite make the final cuvée, or occasionally seperate dedicated vineyards. They are given the same meticulous care that the "first" wines get, but are ready to drink sooner and, crucially, are that bit less expensive. Treat yourself to a selection of great claret - you know you're worth it!
