The deep ruby-red colour with garnet hues at the rim indicates its age and concentration. The nose is complex and inviting, showcasing a bouquet of ripe blackcurrant, blackberry, and dark cherry, interwoven with notes of cedar, tobacco, and a hint of vanilla from oak ageing. Subtle earthy undertones and a touch of spice add further complexity and depth to the aromatic profile.
This Cabernet Sauvignon is full-bodied and structured on the palate, with firm yet well-integrated tannins that provide a smooth and velvety texture. The rich dark fruit flavours from the nose are echoed on the palate, complemented by a balanced acidity that provides freshness and a long, persistent finish. The wine's structure and complexity make it an excellent pairing for rich, flavorful dishes. It pairs particularly well with grilled or roasted red meats such as beef, lamb, and game, hearty stews, mature cheeses, and dishes with rich sauces. Its depth and complexity also make it a wonderful wine to savour on its own.
