Aromas of sweet dark fruit, plum, menthol and toasty vanilla/coconut oak. Attractive and promising, with tight aromas of berries and plums followed by a lovely oak and earthy influence. On the palate full bodied with flavours of dark berry, menthol and toasty savoury oak. Plenty of assertive stalky gritty tannins coat the palate, the ample flavours and distinguished Cabernet characters continue all the way, developing sweet complexities like blueberry and violet. Very extended flavours everywhere, the gumleaf-like nuances are gentle and refreshing. A wine thick with juicy highlights and gummy, tarry elements, it offers excellent fruit with good oak integration and silky acids. Finishes with grainy tannin and toasty flavours.
