First tasted, March 2006:
This wine is composed of a blend of Cabernet Sauvignon, Cabernet Franc, Merlot and Malbec. Very deep black crimson colour with deep crimson hue. Perfumed nose of violets, cedar, blackcurrant and spice. The palate has impressive weight and plenty of Cabernet flavour with no signs of any green or vegetative characteristics. Flavours of blackcurrant and cedar are followed by spice and violet infusions. Very fine grained tannins, with very long aftertaste. An excellent example.
