Beautiful text-book Cabernet Sauvignon aromas of blackcurrant, cassis, and graphite. Eucalyptus-like freshness next to beautifully integrated oak aromas of sweet tobacco leaves and sandalwood. On the palate, it has the contrapuntal tension of a great, young wine: creamy and soft mouthfeel next to upfront fresh acidity and rich tannin structure. Flavors of crunchy blueberries, ripe blackcurrants, and cigar box. It is an endlessly layered and complex wine with a long life ahead. If you want to enjoy this wine while it is still young, pour it into your largest wine glass and decant it if possible.
