This densely coloured wine shows lovely aromatics with layers of dark berries, cassis, and roasted coffee bean, mingling with floral and spice nuances. The palate is rich and concentrated with a soft plush mid-palate framed by finely textured tannin and integrated oak. While approachable in its youth, this wine will benefit and gain additional complexity from careful cellaring.

Judges Selection [GFW23]

2023 Global Fine Wine Challenge

93 | Very aromatic, blue fruits and violets, leafy notes, lively elevated acidity which firms up the tannins; cool grown.

84 | UR Cabernet is never a good thing... Way too much herbal pyrazines, bitter and astringent finish...

95 | Intense vivid colour. Super ripe, bright fruit aromas but also a lovely thread of cabernet curranty freshness. Silky tannins, lovely crisp fruit. Tannins aren't too bold. Not the biggest wine on the table but has a lovely complete character.

93 | Dense dark fruit. Lovely concentration. Cleansing. Youthful. Bright.
