Deep, dark red colour with a good tinge of purple. The bouquet is rich, ripe and berry-like with a regional mint overtone. It's full-bodied and rich, smooth and plush and loaded with supple tannins. Bottle-age is introducing a savoury note now, but it's still fresh and young. The texture is excellent. Balanced, long and satisfying -- a very smart Cabernet.
