To be published March 2025: This 100% Cabernet Sauvignon exudes remarkable compactness and tension, offering tantalising glimpses of its future potential. Alluring blackberry, raspberry, and plum intertwine with high-toned herbal notes that crackle with vibrancy, while elegant cedarwood and dark chocolate enrich the medium- to full-bodied palate. Juicy, vivid fruit imparts a natural sweetness, reminiscent of freshly picked blackberries and ripe cherries. Chiselled tannins, have a saline-sappy quality. Nuances of black truffle, rooibos tea, and Mediteranean herbs are expressive on the length finish.
