Impenetrable black as night core with a deep dark red black tinged hue. Lifted blackcurrant aromas tinged with bay leaf are followed by mulberry, light cedary tobacco characters and spice. Medium to full bodied, elegant and restrained, the palate is dominated by ripe red to blackcurrant and mulberry flavours which meld into vanillin cedar, light earthy tobacco characters, black olive and spicy dried herbs. Sturdy yet fine grained tannins. Aftertaste of red and blackcurrant, mulberry, earthy tobacco characters, black olive and spicy dried herbs.
Cellar 5-6 years.
Alc. 13.5%

Other Reviews….
It's a strict, rigid cabernet with fragrant herb, currant and black olive characters running straight and true through the palate, the (tannic) finish all muscle and bone. It needs time. It has the necessary requirements. Coiled power is the phrase. Drink by 2040.
