The wine itself is simply gorgeous, offering bright aromas of cherries and cassis woven together with tobacco, fresh herbs, spices, dried florals a loamly mineral character all taking shape. On the palate Medium-bodied with fine, polished tannins and wonderful overall balance. Displaying incredible class and elegance, this gorgeous Cabernet is drinking exceptionally well today, but should go on to evolve beautifully over the next decade and even beyond.
