RATINGS

Vivino: 4.7

TASTING NOTES

43% Cabernet Sauvignon, 33% Malbec, 24% Cabernet Franc

This outstanding blend has depth, concentration and complexity, all in a harmonious and balanced package. It has blackberry, cherry and cassis fruit that is coupled with hints of raspberry sauce, pressed violets and baking spice. It is silky smooth and seductive in a Tuscan kind of way.

The palate is strong and packed with black fruit flavours that lead into a long, character-full finish of smoke, espresso bean, cigar and woodspice. Firmly structured and robust in feel. This powerful wine is drinking very well now and will mature for another 15-20 years from vintage.
