Opaque dark red black colour with a dark red hue. Lifted ripe red currant and mulberry scents are interwoven with bay leaf, subtle black olive and spicy cedar notes. The elegant, medium bodied palate is decorated with ripe red currant and mulberry fruits which oversee a cedary tobacco character and spicy bay leaf back drop. Beautifully integrated acidity and tannins with a feeling of refinement to the medium length finish.
Drink over the next 5-6 years.

Other Reviews….
It's matured in all-French oak and while it's mostly cabernet and merlot there's a small portion of petit verdot in the mix. It's medium weight and fluid with blackcurrant, milk chocolate and gravel notes slipping amiably through. It has shape and texture but integrity of fruit is key here. No mucking about; this is a good cabernet to drink. Drink by 2030.
