Black cherry, liquorice, spiced plum & cedarwood with red berries. Full bodied with integrated tannins, dark berries and black cherry. Good structure, early in its drinking window and approachable now. Medium to long finish. Very good example.

1 hour decanted, pale tawny colour with instant aroma of dried fig, blackcurrant jam, cinnamon & clove. Full bodied, rich and warming, mocha and cocoa, fig & bramble. Very smooth with soft fully integrated tannins. Very good, typical Musar long finish. No rush to drink this at all.

On the nose, intense, cassis, cranberry & cinnamon, a hint of oak, spice & cigar box aromas.
On the palate, intense dark fruit, dark chocolate and structured tannin. Has a concentrated finish, dark berry & black olive notes.
Thought this was Cabernet dominated despite the equal proportions of Cab, Carignan & Cinsault.
Still very young yet quite approachable.
