A dark black-purple and bright color. On the nose, Cabernet's deep and hidden depths, with traces of bright blackberry essence, cinnamon, cooked beetroot, and violets. The aromatics unfold slowly and meld with an underplayed oak bouquet. Herbs and fecund fields and berries hanging to the cane. On the palate, a fresh line of lasting acidity provides tension and balance to the typically demonstrative Cabernet tannins and the weight of the just-ripe berry fruit flavors and textures.
Decant before drinking with a good Cote du Bouef or barbecued Scotch Fillet. Too many potato chips and a small green salad. Mature people might like English mustard.
