2014 Tasting Notes
The cooler climate of 2014 caused a greater expression and concentration of aromas and flavours in the grapes, resulting in an excellent expression of Cabernet Sauvignon.
Red fruit aromas are followed by mineral
notes of ash and pencil lead. Great complexity on the palate with outstanding concentration and freshness accompanied by
velvety tannins.
2006 Tasting Notes
A slower than usual maturation and a tremendous difference between day and night temperatures meant the grapes were picked later than in previous years, allowing
the tannins to truly ripen.
Expressive and complex with notes of chocolate, black cherries and ripe plums intermingling with aromas of coffee and blackcurrants. The red fruit expression continues on the palate in a dense, mouthfilling wine with fine, ripe tannins that lend tremendous concentration and a long,
expansive finish.
Food Pairing
Red and white meats, game, pastas, terrines and pâtés. Creamy, dry and aged cow's and
goat's milk cheeses.
