"89% Cabernet Sauvignon, 10% Merlot, 1% Cabernet Franc. Mid-ruby colour. Aromas of wild strawberry and redcurrant – firmly in the red-fruited spectrum at this early stage, despite the high proportion of Cabernet. The palate is silky and seductive, with a disarmingly pretty mid-palate which manages to be both plush and elegant. Fine, chalky tannins and just-so acidity work together to make for a long, red-fruit-clad finish on which roses and tomato leaf linger.
