Substantial, textural, persistent.
Expect a substantial Cab with aromas of purple berries and black currants, vanilla, sunbaked earth, peppery spices, rich chocolate, licorice and saddle leather. Textural yet ripe tannins roll across the palate - it offers flavours of mocha, black briary berries, toasted brown spice and cocoa lingering on the finish. Structured and full-bodied with superb persistence.
87% Cabernet Sauvignon, 8% Merlot, 5% Cabernet Franc.
Second review: Nov. 2016
A brilliant Cabernet with spot-on notes of cassis, red cherries, mocha, tobacco, pencil shavings, toasted spices and a savoury herbal core. Supple and intense with great structure and balance.
