Tasting Notes
An example of pure Cabernet Sauvignon fruit, with aromas of wood, ripe blackberries and cassis on the nose. It is a juicy, well structured wine with a hint of ripeness on the palate and an abundance of black fruit. The finish is long and smooth, with a slight smokiness. The tannin structure is firm but by no means aggressive, to emphasise the varietal characteristic.
Ageing Potential
Further bottle ageing will have the wine soften a bit and with the nice acidity, this is a wine will last another 6 -9 years in a cellar.
