Additional details
Region:
Cellaring:
Drinking well now, but will improve with time. Peak drinking 2020 – 2032.
Nose:
Subtle forest floor earthiness, laced with liquorice, fennel and anise with a sceric of non-aggressive fresh spearmint. Sugar pastille wafts – somewhat reminiscent of the fruit bon bons, more prescriptively/realistically – blackcurrant jelly bean.
Palate:
Bountiful red cabernet fruits complexed by cut tobacco and darkened spices.
Seamless, with a tightness/tension between acidity and tannins.
These tannins are ripe and friendly – currently perceived as fruit, not oak tannins.
Varietal Composition:
Cabernet Sauvignon (100%)
