Expressive aromas of wild strawberries, black cherries, wet earth and rose petals with supple tannins. I love the fact that this wine is only 12.5%. Charming on its own but a delicious match with grilled salmon or roasted chicken.
This is a huge mouthful of rich dark plum, blackberry, plush chewy tannins and a hit of liquorice on the back palate. Powerful and enormously concentrated, it seems almost a meal in itself but will pair best with robust, full-flavoured braised red meat dishes.
Deep purple-ruby colour; spicy plum bouquet with evident oak at the moment; medium-bodied, dry, well-extracted sweet plum flavour with balancing acidity.
Attractively perfumed blackcurrant, blackberry, clove and a whiff of tannic astringency on the nose. Rich blackberry flavours take over on the palate with background blackcurrant, firm tannic structure and still forward acidity. This is a big wine with the components to age well. Give it another 3-5 years in the cellar.
Opens with good varietal Cabernet character, showing blackcurrant and dark berry scents together with background smoky tobacco notes. On the palate, generous dark fruit and spice shows some complexity, staying just the right side of jammy ripeness. Finish is harmoniously balanced with a deft touch of oak.
Deeply scented spicy and earth plum, with spicy plum cake richness in the mouth, rounded tannins, a splash of dark chocolate, a touch of licorice and a suggestion of toffee on the finish.
Dense purple-black in colour with a cedary, blackcurrant nose lifted with oak spice; full-bodied, dry, richly-extracted blackcurrant flavour with notes of clove. A firmly-structured and well-balanced wine.
