A captivating nose full of rich, heady scents - deep ripe black fruit with lovely clarity and purity to the aromas. Cystalline but definitely intensely perfumed and black fruited. Smooth and supple on the palate with good persistence and finesse. A blend of 50/50 Cabernet Sauvignon and Merlot this has quite an intense flavour of bramble berries, cherries and ripe strawberries but with perfectly integrated tannins. This has a sense of class. Let it breathe and serve slightly chilled. Surprisingly accessible now but will continue to age. Hedonistic flavours but with a light touch and juicy acidity with a chalky slightly warming finish alongside mint, liquorice and tobacco spice. Clearly well made. Aged for 12 months, 25% new oak, 75% one year.
