Deep, dense, red/purple colour with a black tinge, the bouquet oaky and blackberry-scented, and the oak is smoky and charred. The wine is concentrated, deep and compact, the tannins and flavours dense and packed. The wine is powerful and searing, the finish long and satisfying. This really has a lot of stuffing. A serious cabernet, well worth cellaring. Tasted 07 OCT 2014 Drink 2017–2039
