A big black tannic monster of a wine that needs at least 10 years according to one judge. Savory, dark fruit, olive like characters.

A classy cabernet with very pretty floral/oak nose; some mineral notes. Velvety palate with powerful varietal flavours. Needs more time for oak and fruit to integrate. 3-5

“Potential to be a real classic”. All components in perfect balance. Floral blackcurrant fragrances layered with spicy oak. Delicious ripe fruit flavours on the silky smooth palate. 3-5

A nicely developing complexity of dark leafy varietal fruit with some berry notes and well handled oak. Shows a very high level of tannins with plenty of acidity left.
