Cabernet Sauvignon 76%, Merlot 8%, Malbec 8%, Petit Verdot 8% from the Glenmore Vineyard.

Red and black berries, chocolate and spice, some dried flowers and mint, and not much in the way of oak influence here. It’s plush and a subtle red jelly flavour (in a good way), dried rose and tobacco. Kind of playful and serious at once. Tannin has light grip and a pleasing grainy character, and the finish is satisfying too. A top release of the wine, I reckon.
