Tasted blind in a line up of five 2012 Cabernets, I initially placed this as my second preferred, but after some time open it skipped up into equal top pick.
The depth and alluring fruit were the highlights for me. Earthy with some red fruits, throw in a pinch of savoury herbs and a whiff of old wallet leather and there you go.
Fruit and acid were balanced well and the finish was long. Deliciously long. So much so I had to lick the glass out. You probably will too.
Very good and a cracking deal for twenty bucks!
