Collio Rosso Riserva 'Cjarandon' 2018

Released only in vintages favourable to Collio reds, Cjarandon is a classic right-bank Bordeaux blend of 65% Merlot, 30% Cabernet Sauvignon and 5% Cabernet Franc from a tiny crop. Aged 20 months in Allier barriques (60% new, 40% second use) and a further 10 months in the bottle, it is full of black cherry fruit with spice and mint, the palate fresh and focussed with a long finish.
