An elegant rather than blockbuster red with aromatic floral and red berry characters. What it lacks in intensity it more than makes up in power and extraordinary flavour length. Finely-tuned red that achieves a perfect balance of delicate sweet fruit with gently drying tannins. Great potential 7/6/2010

The most expensive wine in this tasting by a factor of two, but is it the best? This supremely elegant Cabernet Sauvignon doesn’t make a strong statement. It’s a powerful wine but the power is delivered with great finesse most easily measured by an extremely long finish. Quite oaky but with fruit to match. 24/6/2009
