Platter Review: 3.5*
Deep ruby in colour with a pink rim, some classic dusty graphite notes, followed by oak spice, notes of plum, sour cherries, wet tobacco, crushed stone, black cherries and attractive cocoa dust. The palate follows with darker forest berry and cassis. It is juicy on the entry, but classic cabernet sauvignon with juicy fruit, and good deep flavour intensity. The fruit is balanced with vivid acidity and firm accessible yet serious and dry tannins.
85% Cabernet Sauvignon, 15% Cinsault
