Good purity of sweet Cabernet fruit, complemented with bell pepper, smoked ham, vanilla beans and river stones. Forward and clean nose but not in your face, nice freshness. The elegant palate gained depth and richness on an extended mid-palate and finish. Structure is huge but rounded. This straight Cabernet offers a good balance between power and elegance, depth and vibrant aromatic profile. Ready to drink now after 2 hours in the decanter but will continue to develop for the next few years.

Deep concentrated Blackcurrants, ever so slight notes of tobacco and wood, moderate tannins and lively acidity will help it improve even more. lovely cab-sauv at a great price. My other 3 bottles can wait for another two years at least.

Fine and elegant with dense purity in the blackcurrant fruit. Touch of tobaccoey eucalyptus and cedar, this feels classic and confidently modern. Creamy, but with real backbone and substance behind. Always one of the best value Cabs out there. Very promising future.
