This wine has developed more quality and style in bottle more than I ever expected. It’s become a stylish, elegant and finely textured cabernet whose deep aromas of cassis, dark plum, mulberries, dark cherries and cedary oak precede a long, gentle and totally complete palate built around a pristine and brightly lit core of vivacious dark fruits. It’s beautifully measured and finely structured, and at five years of age appears to have at least another five years ahead. An excellent cabernet and a certain winner for those who love the texture, purity and charm of this classic variety.
