Nose suggests blackberry, cherry, plum, cassis, tobacco and herbs. Dry, markedly tannic, but with a good fruit layer around it. There is a good future ahead for this wine. Full-bodied, long finish. The aroma and flavours come into their own with an hour or so of aeration.
Nose exhibits intense barnyard, plum, blackberry and leaf mulch.
Dry with a good gentle, almost sweet fruit core. Medium full-bodied with a lingering finish. Enticing aromas of red fruits, cassis and coffee combine with a flavourful mouth-feel to produce a solid and pleasurable Cab. A slight bitterness on the finish held this back from scoring even higher. Aromas of berries, new leather, plum, pipe tobacco and cherry.
