Tasting Notes
Quite lovely and showing some early-stage mature notes. Complex and layered aromas of spice box, smoked meat, autumn leaves, pomegranate and currants. The palate is remarkably elegant, especially given its impressive weight. Superb balance and structure with a spicy finish. This will appeal to both fans of European and New World Cabernet Sauvignon. Try this with steaks with dry rubbed savoury spice. (VINTAGES panel, Sept. 2015)
