2023 Technical Specifications
Grape Varieties 50% Cabernet Sauvignon, 46% Merlot, 4% Petit Verdot

Harvest Dates Harvest began on 11 September; the sheet's date panel says it ended on 5 October 2022, which conflicts with the document's 2023 vintage identity, so the end year is unresolved.

Grape Varieties 53% Merlot, 43% Cabernet Sauvignon, 4% Petit Verdot
