An elegant Cabernet, with dusty library corners and pristine fruit. It makes me want to listen to someone playing the banjo and romanticise the king of grapes. Foot-stomped blackberries, charred cedar and plum centres. In the mouth, it has old-man charm and a firm tannic grip. There’s rolling tobacco and leather, but make no mistake, it isn’t tired or tertiary. The balance between fruit, oak and structure remains beautifully intact.
