A royal wine, full of reference and wonder. Salted dark chocolate, violets, and tart dark fruit. It looks like Cabernet, smells like Cabernet – the typicity is the allure, with bay leaf, black fruit, and scraped vanilla bean. The latter from oak. A guilty sweet, like an Arnott’s choc-mint biscuit at the end of the night. Honestly, I’d rather curl up with this. Medium-bodied, as it should be. It reminds me of a woman in dark blue silk, slow-dancing, unattainable, unaware of every stare – just blissful in her moment. Sure, hold and cellar, but I love it now for its youthful bounce and sticky tannin. Decant before drinking.
