A very herby and savoury Cabernet that gains terrific momentum with time in the glass. Made in the Amarone style, the fruit was rack dried to intensify the flavours.
Drying and mouth-puckering deluxe, powdery and chalky tannins take hold. Mulberry aromas stand tall with gooseberry and green capsicum playing supporting roles. Concentrated and dense, a flash of cedar, some dried thyme and sage drive through. Dark plums and dark berries keep the tempo - their generosity clear. Long, and mouth-filling, it's a wine that needs food - think beef ragu, slow-cooked meals and alike. There is no doubting the longevity here.
