A blend of 60% Cabernet Sauvignon, 36% Merlot and 4% Cabernet Franc and aged in 35% new oak, the Ferriere has a very pure bouquet that is so elegant and refined. The palate is very well balanced with a pleasant fleshy entry. It has an effervescent red fruit profile with hints of orange zest towards the bright, perky finish. I hope it is as delicious as this after bottling. Tasted April 2012.
This shows lots of fresh and ripe fruit for the vintage, with a dried-strawberry and raspberry character. Full body, round tannins and a juicy-fruit finish. Friendly; less harsh than many 2011s. Try in 2016.
