Blackcurrant, gentle bell pepper and bay leaf lift from the glass on first smell. Sweet spice to follow in the form of cardamom and cinnamon, with some graphite and nori salt to follow. It’s elegant, complex and charming straight off the bat. Very good. The palate is medium bodied, intense and elegant, with graphite and mocha dancing around a core of blackberry and plum. The finish is wrapped up in firm, gravelly tannins and freshening acidity to a long, poised and mocha-laced close. Excellent balance, elegance and complexity on show here, with sound structure to go the distance in cellar.

Youthful, deep, dark and bright in the glass. Complex aromas of blackberry, bramble, dried herbs, dark cherry, cigarbox, cedar and lead pencil. Classic and evocative Great Southern cabernet aromas. Textured, layered and full of briary dark and blue fruits on the palate. There’s a fabulous drive of pure and precise fruit and oak. The tannins are granular, firm and sophisticated and the acidity has zip, ping and purpose. Long, archetypal and really smart gear.
