Ripe, succulent nose that crackles with green pepper and green-peppercorn spice. Cab Sav dominates in an intensely blackcurranty and blackcurrant-bud way. Juicy and fragrant and very much of the bordeaux mould but with the sensuous sunlit roundness of New World – in a good way! Supple tannins. Generous without sacrificing elegance.
