Notes:
Deep ruby in colour with purplish garnet rim, an initially jammy nose packed with ripe red fruits, subsequent to aeration, transforms into red cherry, cranberry, strawberry, and hawthorn, topped by hints of violet. Remarkably fresh and refined, the nose is characterically cool-climate. Persistent throughout, flavours of juicy red fruits are joined by sweetish liquorice and a touch of vanilla, offering a lively and nervy palate. A medium-bodied single varietal Cabernet Sauvignon with fine-grained tannin, this is a well-balanced wine with a clear structure. Harmony being its middle name, this wine – already highly decorated – has years ahead of it, and will generously reward patience.
