Incredibly dense and inky to the eye

Great depth of ripe plum

well-integrated tannins

we experienced a nine-day heat wave with record temperatures

little later than normal but the season was characterised by regular

intentionally blended Cabernet Sauvignon

Citrus and flowers

and the rest Cabernet Franc and Petit Verdot

red fruits are front and center

A fine and elegant entry leads to a combination of redcurrants

graham crackers and kaffir limes
