Deep colour, good hue. The bouquet is marvellously complex: mossy undergrowth, sousbois, tobacco, nori and dried herbs galore. It's a more elegant style than the 2014 or 2009, understated and finessed yet piercingly intense with fine, soft tannins and a long carry.

Very effective grape sorting equipment is part of the reason for the purity and the singularity of this beautiful cabernet. Blackcurrant/cassis fruit, spicy/earthy undertones and perfectly ripened tannins stand guard over the fruit. The oak is subtle, but carefully orchestrated. Drink to 2051.
