Dark reddish-purple garnet in color. Full, forward & fragrant nose of ripe fruits aromas of cherries, plums & cassis with overtones of floral notes of violets & dusty/earthy notes, spices, mocha, graphite, tobacco, minerals & a hint of vanilla/oak. Full bodied with a very good concentration of well balanced & smooth textured, ripe fruit flavors of cherries, blackberries & plums with herbs, minerals, spices & vanilla/oak. Lingering finish. Drinks quite well at present with decanting & extended airing but should develop further with additional aging. An indicative blend of 65% Cabernet Sauvignon, 30% Merlot & 5% Petit Verdot.

Well made. Intense purple flowers, sandalwood, juicy blackcurrant, graphite, toasty sweet oak, creamy, savoury earth. Medium bodied, good focus, distinct mocha, graphite and dusty and some tarry character. Finishing short though.

From 375ml. Dark fruited and sleek, quite polahed with a lactic quality. Rather dense and concentrated but well balanced. Quite young obviously but has good stuffing.

Flowers, dark, red pit fruits, mint, and just a hint of chocolate create the perfume. The wine is silky, fresh, plush and polished with an elegant, vibrant finish that does not want to quit. This is already stellar in your glass, and with some time in the cellar, it is only going to get better with age. Drink from 2024-2047.
