80% cabernet sauvignon, 14% malbec, 5% cabernet franc and 1% merlot, fermented separately in small open vats, hand-plunged, matured in French oak for 20 months. The colour is still fresh, and sets the agenda for the bouquet and palate with cassis and cedary oak, the two main games in town, soft and ripe tannins initially ignored because of that ripeness. All up, a 6yo wine looking like a 3yo, but also ready for work.
