A youthful ruby red in colour with purple hues. The bouquet is a mix of fresh berry fruits and sweet toasted oak. Rich in classic Cabernet notes of sweet blackberry and blackcurrant, rubbed dry herbs and soft cocoa and mocha spice, the palate’s opulence is shaped by a fine tannin structure and bright acidity. This wine is definitively Cabernet – fine, pure and perfumed, with great length of flavour, balance and poise.Cellar 10-20 years.
Deepish red colour with the faintest of purple tints. The bouquet is earthy, dusty, cedary and savoury, showing generous oak and a little development, while the finish and aftertaste are also very drying and savoury, a little drying and initially lacking sweet-fruitness and charm. Tobacco and cassis notes came up with airing and the wine needed to be coaxed out of its shell. It begs for a few years in the cellar. 12 MAY 2019 Drink 2022–2039
