TASTING NOTE: 86% cabernet sauvignon, 14% malbec matured for 13 months in French oak (20% new). Brightly coloured; tips the scales of medium-bodied, deliberately light and fresh in the mouth, both bouquet and palate draped over a scaffold of superfine tannins providing a long finish and aftertaste. Score - 91 (James Halliday, winecompanion.com.au, Aug. 1, 2017) |
