Variety: 97% Cabernet Sauvignon; 3% Malbec
Alcohol: 13.5%
Cellaring Potential: 15-20 years
Artwork: Helen Eager, entitled 'Canal Street'
Blackcurrants, cherries, dried cranberries and Satsuma plums feature on the nose at the forefront. Bay leaf, cinnamon, cardamon, cedar and clove combine with heightened lavender notes and hints of fresh tobacco. The palate is fine with a mineral thread. It is elegant and delicately layered. Blackcurrant and cherries feature again with a subtle cassis edge. The mid palate has supple flesh with cocoa, coffee bean and cassia leading to a graphite line and powdery tannins.
