Made from estate grown 1969 planted Cabernet Sauvignon, Merlot, Malbec and Petit Verdot. Superb colour displaying a totally opaque black dark red core with a deep bright dark red hue. Perfumed aromas of red & black currant and mulberry tinged with hints of violets overlay subtle cedary tobacco characters, traces of black olive and spice. Light to medium bodied with a very elegant and fresh mouthfeel the palate possesses flavours of red and black currant which meld into some mulberries over a backdrop of subtle cedary tobacco characters and delicate fresh herb infusions. Has a youthful brightness to the finish with perfectly integrated fine grained tannins. Medium to long aftertaste of red currants, blackcurrants, mulberry, cedary tobacco characters and fresh herb infusions.

Other Reviews…
A blend of cabernet sauvignon (dominant), merlot, malbec and petit verdot. Fabulous colour, deep crimson; the bouquet is so intense it sets the antennae waving furiously. The palate is an essay. Sheer, unadulterated power; the four components have bonded so symbiotically and synergistically with each other, and the 100% new French oak, it will be a decade at the very least before the wine opens up to display the intricacy of its inner workings. When it does, this wine may emerge as the greatest of the vintage. Drink by 2049.
