95% Cabernet Sauvignon, 4% Cabernet Franc, 1% Petit Verdot, with a detailed French oak regime. I can resist everything but temptation, or so said Mr Wilde. Place a glass of this in front of you and resistance is futile. Juicy and jewel like, the nose leaps with dusty rose, raspberry leaf, black florals and red berries. Plenty of cedary fine oak and delicate spice makes this hard to resist. Pure seduction. Beautiful fruit bursts forth on the palate, fine and layered. Salted red plum, tomato strap, red cherries, sweet wooded spice, crushed aniseed and caraway, chocolate dust and savoury tones of just-pulled root vegetables. Black fruited and wet earth spice sit at the core. A cabernet in the delicate end of the spectrum, fine boned tannins and silky, silty and abundant. Acidity is spirited, dancing along to a light hearted jig. There’s a fluidity to the shape of this wine on the palate, and the effect is mesmerising. A wine to draw you down the garden path with intrigue and length for days. Drink 2024 to 2044.
