| This unique partial-appassimento is an ever-changing blend that this time has a fairly deep purple-red colour. The nose shows good complexity with some slightly earthy, ripe, plum-crancherry fruit along with cedar-sandalwood notes. It’s dry, medium bodied and quite well structured with intense, bright, ripe, plum-crancherry flavours followed up by a lingering, crisp, fairly cedary, harmonious finish. It has 13.7% alcohol and 1.3 g/L residual sugar. Quite approachable now, it is a brand new blend of 40% Cabernet Sauvignon (was 88%), 33% Cabernet Franc (was 12%) and now 27% appassimento kiln-dried Merlot. Aged for 18 months (was 16 months) in French and American oak. The lot number 250722 appears on the lower part of the glass meaning that it was bottled last July 22nd. Only 1200 cases were produced. |
