As with last year, this is intensely flavoured with lashings of redcurrants, pomegranate, raspberry and cassis. The fruit is framed by a chorus of exotic spices that pick and lift the fruit throughout the evolution of the wine across the palate. The tannins are very fine and chalky, providing grip and shape and power through the finish. Supple, cool-climate cabernet... super-gorgeous. Tasted Sep 2021. Erin Larkin for James Halliday
