TONY ASPLER: 89 - BEST BUY - Deep ruby colour; cedary, spicy black and red currant bouquet; medium-bodied, well extracted fruit nicely balanced with oak; firmly structured.

A Best Buy |
| TASTING NOTE: A blend of 38% Cabernet Sauvignon, 33% Merlot and 29% Cabernet Franc, this has notes of dark fruit, earth and smoke on the nose. Ripe, rich and rounded with good depth and complexity in the mouth. Structured and balanced, this will reward 3-5 years patience, but can be enjoyed tonight with blackened pork ribs, burgers or steak. (VINTAGES panel, Aug. 2015) |
