OMG. This shows amazing depth of fruit and density. Full-bodied and so layered with incredible fruit and power. Blackberries. Blueberries. Violets. Hints of dried flowers. Fantastic fruit and tannins, yet agile and energetic.

80% Cabernet Sauvignon, 11% Merlot, 9% Cabernet Franc Deep colour. Intense mulberry, blackcurrant pastille herb garden liquorice aromas with underlying savoury mocha notes. Well concentrated and proportioned with deep set dark mulberry black currant fruits, fine persistent grainy/ graphite tannins and mocha espresso notes. Builds up very chalky/ chocolaty at the finish with some cedar notes. Quite muscular but should soften out with time. Impressive rochness and weight with long aging potential.
