Dark red with purple hues. A bouquet of blackcurrant, graphite and cinnamon followed by tobacco and dark chocolate. Vibrant red & blue fruits on the palate with characters of nutmeg and cloves. Silky tannins and long finish.
Made from the best fruit from the oldest ('75) plantings, hand-picked, destemmed to closed fermenters, with twice daily aerative pumpovers temperature controlled to 25 degrees C, matured in new and used French barriques for 18 months. As expected, a high quality cabernet in every way; only medium-bodied, but beautifully nuanced and poised, blackcurrant fruit, bay leaf, oak and fine - almost silky - tannins. 96 Points Wine Companion
Darker berries, blue fruits, cedary notes and fresh cigar tobacco, as well as some leafy and herbal nuances. The palate has a punchy core of dark-fruit flavors with a long, dense and chewy chain of tannins carrying them long into the finish. Drink or hold. 94 Points James Suckling
