From Cabernet Sauvignon, Merlot and Cabernet Franc – a bouquet of complexity, depth and concentration. No mistaking the core of fruit, no mistaking the impact of new oak. Blackberry, roasted plum, vanilla, clove and toasted wood aromas. Intense on the palate with flavours that reflect the nose – dark berries and baking spices, violets and dark roses, black berry fruits and milk chocolate moments. Firm youthful tannins and acidity to match. Long complex finish. A wine for the cellar or decant for service. Best from late 2020 through 2030+. A fine wine. 97/100

52 CS, 31 M, 17 CF, bottled in April 2018. Fresh and intense with good structure and nice acidity. Structured and fresh with lovely supple blackcurrant fruit. Very fine and expressive with brightness, concentration and intensity. 94/100

Sam Kim, wine orbit

This is stunning; the gloriously expressed bouquet shows blackberry, cassis, vanilla, cocoa, game and cedar characters with nuances of toasted spice and cigar. The palate delivers outstanding weight and concentration, wonderfully enhanced by velvety mouthfeel and silky tannins. It is multi-layered and immensely complex with an extremely long engaging finish. Cabernet sauvignon 52%, merlot 31%, cabernet franc 17%. At its best: now to 2030. 97/100
