97 Points

Thursday, March 28, 2024 - [NB 56% Cabernet Sauvignon, 39% Merlot, 5% Cabernet Franc.] Decanted 1 hour. Deep red with light paling to orange rim. Intense nose with ripe blackcurrants, violets, sweet spice with some pepperyness, salinity and rosemary. Palate is rich, round - very intense with extra long persistence. Clear fine tannins, providing a good grip and texture, plenty of fresh acidity with blackcurrants, plenty of aniseed & rosemary (including stalks) on the aftertaste. Still showing primary flavours not having moved through to secondary notes. Continuing to open up in the glass - suggest longer decant. An excellent wine, quite young really with plenty of years ahead. A real gem. Drink now-2040.
