A blend of 72% Cabernet Sauvignon and 28% Merlot. Totally opaque black dark red core with a dark red hue. Nosing offers up aromatics of blackcurrant intertwined with toasty vanillin cedar, subtle earth and spicy tobacco notes. Very finessed the medium weighted palate features elegant red to black currant flavours over earthy leather characters, vanillin cedar, dried herbs and spice. Refined well integrated tannins with finely tuned acidity and a medium length aftertaste.

Other Reviews….
The 2015 Clos Floridene offers up luscious redcurrant, wild strawberry and floral scents on the nose, almost Burgundy-like in terms of purity. The palate is well balanced with fine but firm tannin, a little pinched at the moment, but by the time of bottling it will have undone its top-shirt button. Plenty of energy here, a Graves with a nod to Volnay, bound to offer 8-10 years of pleasure. Drink 2018-2028.
