Very deep crimson in colour. Enticing aromas of blueberry coulis, blackcurrant, mulberry and cassis with fragrant nuances of forest floor, dried mint and a touch of cedar. The deep and concentrated palate of ripe mulberry and blue and black berry fruit flavours are complemented by notes of cedar and mocha, with balanced acidity and fine structured tannins providing focus and excellent length.
Deep colour with the barest of purple tinges. The bouquet shows cedar and tobacco - cigarbox - the palate elegant and medium to full-bodied, with very supple and refined tannins, quite aromatic: a very lovely wine indeed. One of the best of this line that I can recall. It is very St-Émilion-like. Great balance, texture and persistence. (76% cabernet sauvignon, 24% merlot) 02 APR 2019

The vines flourished in the warmer vintage as might be expected, providing a wine of excellent depth and structure, the flavours of blackcurrant/cassis intermingling with savoury herbal notes.
