Silky smooth. Needs an hour-2hour decant to open-then full mouth feel, long soft finish black fruits five spice almond extract-delicious -will improve next 5 years I’m sure-has the structure for it

What a treat. Extremely impressive. Ready to drink now, but we are looking forward to see how it will continue to age and evolve. I would recommend waiting at least a half hour after opening. The bottle did not last the hour, but the wine did continue to balance out.
Medium mix of garnet and ruby red. Restrained and a touch elegant nose with bramble berries, branches, volcanic soil and a bit of cinnamon and anise with air. Medium tannins (7/10) with a medium plus body. Aromatic and structured palate with a dark fruit profile, vanilla, black currants and a gritty texture throughout. Long and dry finish. Drink till 2030.
Made up of 64% Cabernet Sauvignon and 36% Cabernet Franc.
