Written Notes

Tasted at three different venues in April and September 2024 with the same impression. 65% Cabernet Sauvignon, 25% Merlot, and 5% of both Cabernet Franc and Petit Verdot. 13% alcohol. It has an intense nose of blackberries and blueberries and a hint of tobacco. Lively and tender with great mid-palate, finesse, elegance, and sophisticated touch. It has a long and mouth-filling aftertaste. Terrific stuff.

Dark purple colour with violet hue. Opulent nose with expressive character, aroma reminiscent of blackberries and blackcurrants, ripe plums, vanilla, elegant toasting, hints of cocoa powder, discreet floral hints in the background. On the palate well structured with elegant character, firm yet ripe tannins, excellent length and freshness.

Plenty of blackberry, blackcurrant, chocolate and flint aromas that follow through to a full body, yet it’s in check and focused with a beautiful framing of fine tannins. The purity of ripe fruit is impressive with cabernet really showing through. 63% cabernet sauvignon, 30% merlot, 5% petit verdot and 2% cabernet franc. 97-98
