“Filled to overflowing with all the goodies cabernet can offer; lashings of dark fruits centred on blackcurrant, layered tannins and high quality oak; the finish conjures up a savoury edge that adds another dimension."

"Deep, dark red colour with a trace of purple still remaining in the meniscus, the bouquet very briary at first, with dried herb nuances that include a touch of regional seaweed or nori character. There are violet, cassis and blueberry notes too. The wine is stately and elegant, its firmness lingering together with sweet blueberry and cassis fruit flavours. Lovely balance. A very attractive cabernet with the benefit of bottle age."
Tasting Notes
Appearance: Bright & fresh.
Nose: Violets, plums and gorgeous toast.
Palate: Amazing line; the acids were lively and seamlessly balanced with tannins and nearly dark fruit. The structure pure class. A touch of dark chocolate gives hits of secondary development.
