TASTING NOTE
APPEARANCE:
Bright crimson.
NOSE:
The first notes on the nose are enticing and herbal, reminiscent of bay leaf and dry thyme. The nose then opens to intense ripe cassis, black pepper, smoke and cocoa with hints of fresh rolled tobacco leaves.
PALATE:
The bright red attack explodes with red currants and fresh cassis, followed by touches of cloves and juniper berry. A
graphite, mineral backbone leads to a still fresh finish supported by structural fine and savoury tanins
FOOD PAIRING:
Grilled tri-tip or prime rib roasts, roasted game birds with wild mushrooms.
CELLARING:
To enjoy young, we recommend decanting this fiery Cabernet. Will reward cellaring 25+ years.
BLEND:
91% Cabernet Sauvignon, 8% Cabernet Franc, 1% Merlot.
ANALYSIS:
13.5% alcohol, 6.0 g/l acidity, 3.58 pH.
