Sunday, March 5, 2017 - Colour: dark cherry red, hint of brick
Nose: lots of dark fruit -- black cherry, plum, cassis. Blackberry jam. Liquorice, tar, aniseed? Juniper berries? V.slight hint of nightshade leaf. Earthy.
Palate: plum, blackberry, cassis, perhaps plum. Juniper berry? Liquorice, touch of medicinal character, tar. old French oak. Classic Cabernet Sauvignon. Medium bodied, smooth, fine grained drying tannins, berry-like acidity. Really lovely, complex, long on the palate. Still seems quite young! 13,5% alcohol.
