Description
"On the nose, a smoldering combination of red currant, blueberry, violets, rum and raisin chocolate and tar, with a touch of white pepper. There are toasty oak notes and plenty of Cabernet cedar and tarriness. On the palate, the wine commences with bright sweet fruits of red currant and mulberry, almost fairyfloss-like, that run the full length of the palate. Even with this fruit sweetness, underneath there is good balance of acidity and tannin, so the wine is concentrated and relatively smooth, especially pleasing in this type of year. On the finish there are toasty oak notes and classical Cabernet Sauvignon tarriness." - Winemaker Notes
"Delicious wine with cassis, black cherry/berry, anise, pepper, cacao powder, cigar box and spicy oak. Sumptuous wine that is a pleasure to taste and will, I suggest, get even better as it ages. It has a wonderful texture and impressive underlying power." - 95 Points, Bob Campbell MW, The Real Review
