This wine is made from a blend of Malbec, Merlot and Cabernet Sauvignon. The alcohol level is relatively low and yet whilst there are medicinal mint flavour components present, the strong leafiness associated with under ripe Cabernet appears to be missing. Medium body, much, lighter than expected from this style, but understandable given the low levels of alcohol. On the nose some leafy and cool liver oil aroma emerge, to be followed by medicinal mint, stewed fruit and plum flavours. Soft palate with very fine tannins, good balance and a aftertaste of mint, stewed fruit and plum. A wine that may take some getting used to, particularly on the nose. Cellar 2-3 years.
