"Luminous deep red-ruby. Sneaky concentration to the deep aromas of dark plum, blackcurrant reduction, black olives, Mediterranean herbs, and leather that are nicely complicated by earth tones and herbs. Then suave and layered in the mouth, with still youthfully chewy but noble tannins nicely framing the black and blue fruit flavourson the long focused finish. A blend of 55% Cabernet Sauvignon and 45% Merlot, this is drinking beautifully but will benefit from a few years in the cellar so as to fully smoothen out"
