Product details
Lovely herb and flower scents on the nose, a signature of the estate with chocolate powder, toast, caramel, cinnamon alongside sour cherries and caramelised red berries. Round, juicy and so alive on the palate, really quite bouncy with lift, excellent acidity and a lot of liquorice spice - all nicely balanced and in its place. Giving texture and nuance with a sweet and savoury succulence that is so seductive.
Barrel sample. Full of ripe Cabernet tannins, this is a structured wine that's chunky in character. It elegantly balances fruit and structure, resulting in a wine that's sure to be impressive.
