Deep red/purple, a youthful, bright colour. Red and dark fruit aromas, with a subtle lacing of violets and cedar. A light leathery note from oak maturation. Ironstone notes from the malbec. The palate is full-bodied but elegantly-crafted and finely-structured, with abundant tannins which dry the finish and add significantly to its persistence. A full-bodied, powerful, intense cabernet, elegant nonetheless, young for its age and promising to age long-term, building more complexity as it goes. Very long finish and excellent balance. Cellar it to get the full pay-off.
