Fragrant and subtle aroma of dark chocolate and ripe plums on the top note with smoked minerals and roasted fennel at the base. Nose is gentle and soft. The palate has a touch of toasty oak wrapping the savoury and sweet fruits. Some white peppers round up the palate. The Cabernet only showed its power in the mid-palate. Transition to finish lack some focus. Ready to drink now with some decanting but a few more years of bottle aging would make the chalky tannins integrate better into the structure.

Cellaraid Discovery Box; 5/19/2017-5/26/2021 (Delivered to Home): Deep purplish ruby, with significant staining. Aromas of ripe cassis, cinnamon, cedar, and some greenish mint and eucalyptus. Tannins mostly rounded with a slight bite, full bodied, and intensely flavoured of ripe cranberry and cassis, mix of sweet and savoury spices such as cinnamon, cloves and nutmeg, a green grassy character that somewhat resembles green tea and eucalyptus. Medium length with some complexity. Nice!

PnP, balanced, mild dryness with no tannins. Aligned with earlier vintages. Good!
