"This is beautifully ripe and inviting on the nose showing blackcurrant, dried herb, olive and hazelnut characters. The palate is equally appealing, displaying rounded mouthfeel backed by chalky tannins. Medium-full and attractively drinking. At its best: now to 2027" Sam Kim, Wine Orbit, Nov 2022

"Deep, ruby-red, light on the rim. The nose is gently full with forward, juicy aromas of blackcurrant, plum, sweet spice and a hint of minty note. Medium-full bodied, aromas of blackcurrant, plum and red berry enriched by nutmeg and cinnamon, closing with a touch of mint. The fruit is succulent with excellent acidity support. Smooth, grainy tannin contributes to structure. This straightforward Cabernet Sauvignon shows lush fruit and sweet spice on a structured mouthfeel. Match with beef steak and meat grill over the next 3 years" Candice Chow, Raymond Chan Wine Reviews, Feb 2023

Very deep ruby. Pronounced aromas of blackcurrant, vanilla pod and sweet spice. Rich, ripe dark fruits with excellent fruit intensity and fine grained complementary tannins carried by a good length of flavour.

The 2021 vintage was farily mild, with a warm Summer and ample sunshine ensuring full, ripe fruit flavours to develop.
