from £55.00
Sold Out

Cabernet–Merlot Bordeaux-style blend inspired by First Quantum Minerals, one of the world’s largest copper producers; a name as grand as the wine it contains.

Appearance: Deep crimson with maroon edges.

Aroma: Ripe black fruits lead, followed by cocoa, bilberry, crème de cassis, violet and subtle leather. Complex secondary notes of cigar box and pencil lead add depth.

Palate: Rich, structured and polished. Plush, creamy tannins carry concentrated fruit while a savoury freshness persists. Flavours of raspberry, red meat and graphite are framed by a cooling menthol lift from the Merlot.

Finish: Elegant, opulent and long; a harmonious balance of concentration, savouriness and refined texture.

A stunning example of a world class wine.
