The dominance of Merlot gives the wine silky tannins, while the notes of Cabernet Franc give it structure. Due to the short ageing period in used Hungarian oak barrels, the dominant aromas are driven by the fruit, not the barrique. The alcohol content is balanced with richness and body, emphasising the notes of black berries both on the nose and on the palate. This is a delicate and elegant Bordeaux-style blend from Pannonhalma.
