Tasting Note

Leafy berry aromas are to the fore, due to the wine being majority Cabernet Sauvignon. A lovely mid-depth colour with youthful tints. Ripe Cabernet fruit complemented by the plush softness of the Merlot component. Fine long tannins and acid line will see this age well over the medium term. A lovely drinking wine as always.
