An impressive Mentor!

The wine has been barrel fermented and aged for 18 months in French oak. Almost opaque black purple colour – holding up well for a 2004 with no signs of brick red. Perfumed nose of cassis followed by blackcurrant, cedar and violets showing classic Cabernet characteristics. The palate displays flavours of blackcurrant followed by a touch of liquorice allsorts, cassis and cedar over a light truffle back palate. Fine grained tannins, excellent balance – some mint flavours emerge late. Very long aftertaste of cedar and cassis.
