Really nice Cabernet from the Behrens family. It needs at least an hour in the decanter and it is still smoothing out after three but this is smooth and complex without being overly fruity or sweet. Deep purple in the glass with a dark berry and mashed fresh cherry nose. Palate is clean with the perfect blend of fruit, spice and oak. A little dry on the finish but in a good way. There’s more years in this but it’s worth a taste now.

Balanced cherry and berries oak licorice with moderate tannins. Spectacular value. Drink alone or with a steak
