Deep purple-red, very youthful, bright and fresh colour. Excellent young cabernet nose of blackberry, cassis, raspberry and blueberry, with fruit out-competing oak and anything else. Powerful in the mouth; lots of density and texture, sweet core of fruit and lush, but much more than simple fruit. Profound palate; great persistence and carry, with an expanding finish that really impresses. Hints of vanilla and chocolate buried in the palate. Great wine in the making. Best in 6 to 30 years.
