very herbaceous with green capsicum and blackcurrant but also, oddly, a bit of alcohol warmth on the nose. In the mouth it's got medium plus intensity acidity, more herbaceous notes, a touch of blackcurrant that proves quite sour, grippy drying tannins feel grape derived but have a little green hardness. Meh

Expressive nose of oak, graphite, green pepper, and blackberry with firm soil tones and a lovely floral top note. Penetrating dose of thick dark berry fruit on the palate with a gravelly base of sweet tannins, moving into a lovely aromatic back note and a long tannic finish. Ineffable, rich, dry and windy.

At its peak. Pencil shavings, chassis and some concentrated black current, short finish, drink up.

This was green and stalky. Maybe a bad bottle, but it really had no typical Cabernet flavours on the nose, and the palate was astringent.

Lovely cassis flavours with a long finish. Lots of interest and zing.
