  Dense dark red with purple hue. Black currant, capsicum, cedar and vanilla. Grainy tannins, heavy and grippy. Not integrated yet, but huge potential ahead.

  79% Cabernet Sauvignon, 14.5% Merlot, 6.5% Cabernet Franc
  
  Medium+ dark red. Dark fruits, chocolate and clear capsicums in nose. Same flavours in mouth, solid structure, medium grained tannins, a little alcohol warm, medium finish. Generally balanced but not mellowed yet, need time.
