Variety: Cabernet/Merlot/Petit Verdot/Malbec
Tasting notes:
The Rouge shows a deep ruby colour with garnet highlights on the rim. The generous bouquet suggests blackcurrant, cedar with scents reminiscent of red berries, spices and vanilla. The wine is amply structured; full, round and smooth on the palate with rich fruit and length of flavour. An elegant wine that can mature with time in the bottle.
Review:
A blend of 40% Malbec, 25% Merlot, 24% Cabernet Sauvignon and 11% Petit Verdot, this opens with an earthy, animal edge, shown in scents of peppery cured meat, cigar ash and spiced blackberry, boysenberry and black plum. The medium-weight palate boasts moderate tannins that lend a solid frame to the bold mouthfeel full of blackberry paste and cassis flavours.
