| The wine has an intense, deep colour with ruby highlights and an ample, generous nose which opens on very ripe fruit (morello cherry and blackberry) mingled with touches of caramel and liquorice.
Dense on the palate, with a distinctive Cabernet Sauvignon structure and forward, rather youthful tannins, it fills out on blackcurrant and spice flavours which enfold the still rather dominant power of the tannins. A long and flavourful finish of great potential is beginning to reveal all the rich expression and distinctive character that southern hemisphere wines derive from their combination of grape variety and terroir. |
