Tasting notes of winery's winemaker
At release, the wine is an intense red colour with a vibrant purple hue to the edge. It has enticing, lifted aromas of ripe blackcurrants, choc mint, subtle spice and a hint of dried tomato leaf. The overall nose character is one of richness and elegance. On the palate it is a very well-balanced wine with ripe blackcurrant characters, along with chocolate and mint intermingling harmoniously with oak characters of cedar & subtle tobacco. There is an understated power to the wine, with layers of complexity building across the palate and then finishing elegantly with long, fine tannins. It is a generous wine yet retains the poise & elegance of great Cabernet Sauvignon.
