The nose exhibits classic Cabernet aromatics of black currant leaf, violets and cigar box with an interesting twist of cooking spice and mustard seed.
These lovely savoury notes are followed through onto the palate but with an underlying sweet blackcurrant and mulberry fruitiness that builds as the wine evolves in your glass.
The initially cedary tannins, start early and give the wine incredible length.
An intriguing fennel note accompanies the chalky tannins that are picked up on the finish, which is long and lingering.
