This wine is a blend of 80% Cabernet Sauvignon and
20% Malbec with maturation taking place in new and second use French oak for 24
months with alcohol coming in at 14.5%.
This wine pours a deep purple in color with aromas
of blackcurrant, black plum, fresh sage, eucalyptus, burnt sugar, smoky and
peppery notes. On the mouthfeel, full bodied, thick, rich creamy flavours of
black fruit and wood spices, dusty tannins and mild acidity. Very good weight
and flavours on the finish with layers of creamy richness and persistent
tannins lingering. Enjoy now but should keep improving over the next 3-5 years.
Much enjoyed by all three of us who had the chance to share this bottle. Yummy,
score 89 points.
