Man O' War Ironclad Bordeaux Blend 2024 750ml
From a rare, small-yield vintage that delivered clarity, depth and longevity, Ironclad 2024 is what happens when everything locks into place.
Blend: Cabernet Franc 50%, Merlot 31%, Cabernet Sauvignon 7%, Petit Verdot 12%
Barrel: 30% New French Oak, 70% Seasoned
Tasting Notes:
The nose is deep and confident: blackcurrant, graphite, dark plum and cassis, layered with cedar, cigar box, bay leaf and a savoury undertow.
On the palate, the wine is seamless and commanding. Rich, dark fruit rolls in first; blackberry, damson plum, black cherry, framed by fine, maritime tannins and a cool, mineral spine. Oak adds structure, lending notes of spice, toasted cedar and dark chocolate, while the acidity keeps the wine lifted and precise.
This is not a blockbuster it’s a battleship; powerful, composed and built to travel a long way. A wine that will drink beautifully young but will truly shine a decade from now.
Alc: 14.7%
