The purity of Cabernet fruit is what impresses here. Subtle, energetic plum & currant follow through to a gorgeously harmonized palate of wonderful fruit & an ultra-long finish... bush & light earth add to the complexity. Lasts for minutes.
There is a sense of pure juicy black-currant fruit that shoots through this great wine. With tannins that are firm while not a jot too much, crisp, packed with fruit & set for many years of aging... beautiful, fruity & intensely structured.
...dark cherries and violets, tightly wound at first but unfurling beautifully and seemingly with each swirl of the glass... wonderful mineral tension & dash of spiciness on the persistent finish... determined to give long-term pleasure...
Solidly packed with layers of warm fig bread, plum compote & black currant preserves, carried by a silky yet substantial structure... anise, black tea & singed alder... Everything glides beautifully through the suave, gently toasty finish.
