Bramble perfume and blackcurrant leaf. Supple and generous, this is gentle in the mouth, sweetly succulent. Just a lovely clarity to the fruit, more powerful than the nose suggests. Dedicated and poised with velvet tannins and crunchy cherry and strawberry fruit on the mid-palate, with a hint of sharp, almost sour strawberry giving angles to the fine tannins. High acidity gives lift and raises the energy while also accentuating the spice at the moment. A Merlot-based second wine based on terroir selection from less gravel plots further away from the estuary. A blend of 66% Merlot, 28% Cabernet Sauvignon and 6% Cabernet Franc with no Petit Verdot in the blend this year.
