Dark core, purple rim.
The nose is varietally defined, with a distinctive chocolate/mint note immediately to the fore. With a gentle swirl, generous dark fruits emerge. Fresh satsuma plum, mulberries and blackberries. The confectioners shop appears again, with a suggestion of red liquorice. Toasted oak is manifesting as roasted hazelnuts...Nutella!
The palate is firm, structured and very generous. Milk chocolate flavours lead the way, with a generous berry compote close behind. The tannins are silky, almost waxy or polished, creating a fine graphite like core. The texture is verging on lanolin, cheese rind, creamy. Juicy and utterly delicious.
Vintage Conditions
Good rainfall in late winter and early spring provided solid foundations for canopy development and mitigated frost risk. From November to harvest it was dry, resulting in lower-than-average yields. Cool weather prevailed over summer with only one hot spell in January. Conditions were near perfect for ripening cabernet sauvignon grapes to their fullest potential.
