ICELLARS |
| Deep intense purple colour. Complex, still youthful, slightly baked, ripe plum-cherry nose with some cedar-sandalwood notes. Dry, medium-full bodied, well structured, harmonious, slightly spicy, intense, ripe cherry-plum puree flavours with a lingering, fairly high acid, gently cedary finish. This tasty blend of 54% Cabernet Sauvignon, 28% Merlot and 18% Cabernet Franc has 13% alcohol and 4 g/L residual sugar. Only 225 cases produced. |

| TASTING NOTE: As much as I was impressed with the 2014 of this wine the '15 is even better - the formula seems familiar: 12 months French and American oak (French dominated), but the percentages are more in balance with where you would expect them to be from this vintage: 54% Cabernet Sauvignon, 28% Merlot and 18% Cabernet Franc ... This one is quite simply gorgeous from the aromas of cassis, mocha and cherry to the smoky-white pepper and grippy tannin structure at the back end, even the dark fruit mid-palate shows finesse. This is one to be proud of. Only 225 cases produced - and even at this price should go quickly. Drink: 2019-2029. Score - 4.5+ Stars (out of 5) (Michael Pinkus, michaelpinkuswinereview.com, April 5, 2017) |
