Description: This Cabernet is a classic red wine to accompany substantial, hearty meat dishes. Extremely deep and concentrated dark ruby in colour, it is spicy and assertive on the nose, lightly herbaceous it opens up in the glass, building incrementally in the mouth with ripe tannins, spicy wood and sweet black fruits leading to a monumental finish underpinned by its tannic structure. This Cabernet is a nicely evolved wine and already delicious, but with the depth of fruit and tannin to age.
