Experience a wine that is first class.. the exceptional collectors flagship First Quantum Grand Reserve Blend 2011.

Loosely based on First Quantum Minerals, the third biggest copper mines in the world – this grand Bordeaux blend needed a grand name to fit its contents.

50/50 Cab/Merlot.

This great wine is a rarity that presents a developed and complex nose with a diversity of aromas that make you want to swirl the glass and smell it over and over again.

Stunning nose, concentrated, intense, rich and structured with an endless finish.

Lovely cigar box, crème de cassis, violet, leather and raspberry with a fantastically complex palate structure: pencil lead and red meat with a refreshing menthe from the merlot and grippy tannins.

The finish is coherent with the nose, complex and long lasting.

The wine profile is one of pure elegance and complexity.

A stunning example of a world class wine.
