Tasting Notes
Smells heady and gorgeously perfumed, so aromatic and expressive. Fragrant pink and red flowers and red summer berry fruits, you wouldn't necessarily pick this for a Cabernet at all with hints of dried herbs too. Pure and focussed on the palate, a lovely sleek, silky texture with the most lovely juiciness, really quite light and well framed with the delicacy of the elements showing through - subtle florality, creamy-herbal strawberries with balancing acidity and slightly firm but fine tannins give the support underneath the fruit. Round and generous, so well controlled and presented, easy to drink and enjoy today. It's not at all thick or velvety, more lean and straight than I was expecting with some sharpness but it feels like it's been sculpted with sinew lingering on the tongue followed by a menthol finish. This has absolute class about with fragrance from the 3% Malbec and elements of herbal, dried spices and a graphite, iron and liquorice tang on the finish. Absolutely moreish.
