Medium

Cork

A red-fruited and moderate nose, with an amaro tone and wine gum, peppy tree, dried herbs, sundried tomatoes, black plum skin, balsamic and licks of tar. The fruit is rather compressed and a touch sappy on the palate, and the tannins are fine and silty with some very fresh acidity. Oak leans a little to the weightier side of the scale, but there is a nice vibrancy to the fruit. This benefits with some time and oxygen to pull things together for immediate drinking, so be certain to decant. More time in bottle should bring out the best in this. 96% Cabernet Sauvignon, 2% Merlot, 2% Cabernet Franc. Hand-sorted berries see 18 months in French oak.
