Bloodwood 'Maurice' 2016

A true Bordeaux blend in style and shape. Lots of leafy aromas amongst dark blue and black fruits of blueberry and mulberry. The palate is only medium bodied yet with a strong core of primary fruit, seemingly filled out nicely by the inclusion of some Merlot. Texturally it is quite fine but the tannins do make themselves known towards the back in a gritty and slightly drying form. Cabernet Sauvignon dominant. – Ches Cook, FWC.
