...showing incredible elements of cedarwood, licorice, chocolate and creme de cassis as well as exquisite texture, full-bodied intensity, and unbelievable purity and length...turned out to be a killer Cabernet Sauvignon..
A rich, dense, harmonious Cabernet, with plush cassis, currant, blackberry and wild berry fruit that picks up a hint of plum and blueberry. The flavors explode on the finish, offering hints of anise and black cherry fruit.
More structured than the Melbury, with deeper, firmer tannins: but it’s certainly not a tannic, hard wine. It’s the quality of the tannins, fine, ripely sweet, intricate. The flavors are enormously rich in blue and black berries...
Aromas of blueberry and blackberry liqueur, with a note of coffee; just this side of roasted. Complicating notes of redcurrant, tobacco, menthol, stone and leather. Finishes very long.
