Description
Dark dense colouring. A fusion of black currant, blueberry, and dark chocolate that flows into a cigar box note, lights up the senses. Followed by a sweetness that is indicative of phenolic ripe fruit. The plate entrance is smooth, ripe, and expressive of Cabernet Sauvignon as the dominant varietal. Cassis and sweet berry fruit fill the midpalate while the ripe tannin structure adds an elegant touch to the palate weight of this wine. The wine lingers with ripe sweet fruit and just enough limey notes to refresh the palate. This wine has a beautiful depth of phenolic ripe fruits.
