Man O'War Ironclad Bordeaux Blend 2021 14% 750ml

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

PALATE: The 2021 is a very hedonistic wine seemingly fruit forward and rich but there are layers of complexity that reveal themselves as you journey through the bottle, layers of aroma and flavour and of structure; acidity, warmth, tannin and a paradoxical freshness that ebbs and flow throughout the tasting experience.

VINIFICATION: 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.

GRAPE VARIETY: 50% Cabernet Franc, 26% Merlot, 14% Petit Verdot, 9% Cabernet Sauvignon, 1% Malbec

VINTAGE NOTES: 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.
