Cabernet Sauvignon (89%) Malbec (6%) Petit Verdot (5%)
Deep red with purple hues. Dark fruits of the forest, black plums and cassis with hints of dried herbs, cinnamon and spice. Full-bodied yet refined, the plush palate offers a core of inky berry fruits; blackcurrants, Satsuma plums and graphite, all framed by subtle cedar/spicy oak characters. This dense wine is well structured, with a taut acid backbone layered with dark fleshy fruit characteristics, ripe tannins and a lingering.
The deep vibrant hue will barely change for 10 years, the gently throbbing power of the black fruits likewise. Then the fragrance of violets, the cassis and cedar of the palate will exclude all other thoughts.

Vibrant purple colour with bright purple edges. Loads of moving parts - cassis liqueuer, darkest soy, tobacco and leather. A beautiful wine. Concentrated black and blue berries, ripe tannins, a palate with reach. Beautiful young cabernet. 30 JUN 2019 Drink 2019–2031
