Its elegant aromas gift us black fruit like blackberries and plums and spicy notes that together generate a sound in the imagination that goes beyond pleasure to become transcendent. The mouth delivers fine-grained, rounded tannins and body that is expressive and abundant without being heavy. Meanwhile the acidity lends dynamism.
The Cabernet Sauvignon, like a good friend, provides structure and tension to the mouth, while on the nose red fruit and spices complement the wine’s layers of flavours, delivering complexity and elegance.
