Such a strong note of cabernet to it. Supple smooth on the palate. So direct, focused, strong cabernet character.

Very dark red color. PNP, drank a glass plus form 375ml over 2.5 hours. Sweet dark fruit nose, pretty cassis notes, menthol, dried spice, dried violets, smoke and a touch of vanilla as this slowly reveals a lovely damp forest floor note. The palate is full and concentrated, cassis, black cherry, dried roses, damp earth, layered and showing round tannins. I still feel there's more to come.

Coravin fun - Bordeaux (My place, Kent Street): From Coravin. A little yeast extract, touch of fruit tea, very slight herbal note, pretty, jubey black fruits, sweet spice. That jubey fruit translates to the palate joined by fine textured tannic grip which persist, a little white pepper and sweet spice join on the long finish. Nice.

Full and classic left bank nose. Black currant, cedar and ink. Powerful, pure and clean. Developed notes of sweet tobacco. What's not to like?
Medium-fullish, fullish palate. Very good balance. Some hints of sourness detracts. But very, very classic and austere. Cedar, black currant, gravel. So elegant, so polished.
From now and at least 10 years.
