Ready at PnP. Dark ruby to purple Sexy, voluptuous and expressive from the start. Rich dark fruit notes, crushed berries, chocolate, fresh mint, tobacco and sweet iron/minerals. This is 80% Cabernet from Tench and 20% Merlot from Sugarloaf. Nice spices, solid acid framework and velvety tannins on long finish.

Love the power of the wine! But doesn't impress me coming from Russel. I do see some similarities with Bevan but with a slight restraint, wich makes the wine a bit more classy and harmonious. Pitch black dark fruit purity and awsome minerality. My first Perus and it won't be my last (unfortunately for my wallet and this is their entry level! Wow) a bit young but amazingly good at this stage! It will only get better!!

Purple color. An auspicious and beautiful marriage of 80% Tench Cab with 20% Sugarloaf Merlot! Highly aromatic and initial pronounced notes of raspberry jam, plum sauce, fig, and blackberries! Then there is a deeper core of earthy minerality, spices and sautéed mushrooms. Well-balanced acidity, soft powdery tannins lead to a chocolatey finish. Amazingly crafted by Russell Bevan! What a gorgeous Thursday night wine!

My 2nd time tasting this wine. It is excellent. Still on the young side but a great blend that has great balance. Same notes on the 2nd night. Will age well.
