A deepish bright crimson purple. A touch more closed than the Yeringberg blend, but still with a lovely core of dark fruits, together with cedar, violets, and a hint of iodine on the perfumed and captivating bouquet. The medium-bodied and firmly structured palate is beautifully balanced, but with those firm, fine-grained tannins, this will require some patience to fulfil its potential.
Intense small-berried black and red fruits, quite some violet perfume, pencils, and tobacco, perhaps a little aniseed. It’s medium-bodied, quite ferrous and pencilly, the old liquid ‘mineral’ feel that great Cabernet often sports, compact and fine-grained tannin grip, freshness, and excellent length. Some redcurrant peeking through in the aftertaste along with some more savoury/earthy character. Beautiful wine. So good.
