This is a cabernet sauvignon (with a small amount of cabernet franc) offering dark berry aromas, vibrant bramble characters and a classic blackcurrant palate. From a tiny crop – barely half a kilogram per vine – this is a wine of intensity, power, and promise. Yet, as a young cabernet, its generously flavoured almost silky palate invites one to sip more. While its youthfulness is most evident with a late firmness, all is beautifully balanced; such is the trademark of this wine.
Very deep, very bright purple-red colour with a bell-clear and ultra-youthful mulberry/blueberry aroma showcasing the fruit, the oak input barely noticeable as the fruit is so powerful and brilliant. An absolutely gorgeous wine, the clarity and power of its fruit flavour is gobsmacking. Concentration is at a very high level but so are balance and harmony. A blinder of a wine.
