Ironclad Merlot Cabernet Franc 2019, Man O’ War

With immediate complexity of aromas, the ‘Bordeaux blend’ Ironclad offers a distinctive bouquet of black cherry and blackberry alongside cedar, pencil shavings, olive tapenade, wet slate, elderberry and bright violet. In the mouth, boisterous, juicy fruit and polished tannins lead to an impression of sumptuousness, permitting early enjoyment, however the structure and balance mean that this is a wine that will also reward cellaring. It finishes with attractive, complex, savoury notes.
