Michael Broadbent, the 24th Master of Wine, had a rich history in the wine business. His book Wine Tasting was the first book devoted to the taste of wine, and set the standard for how wine is tasted by professionals.

Broadbent wrote notes on over 90,000 wines, had a monthly column in Decanter magazine for 36 years, and was the founder of Christie’s wine department in 1966. The Auctioneer is a tribute to the great Michael Broadbent.

The final wine is refined, elegant, and beautifully balanced; the style of wine that made Napa Valley famous. Aged in 60% New Oak and 40% neutral barrels for 15 months.

Tasting Note: The wine is dark with aromas of cassis, plum and anise. The palate displays rich cherry and blackberry flavours with just the right amount of fresh acidity and toasty spice. Your palate is enveloped in soft, ripe, tannins, which leads to a beautifully balanced and long finish.
