Surprisingly very good. Ken Helm known for his great Rieslings but this was a good correct Cabernet particularly for a continental Cab as opposed to a maritime Cab. Minty with notes of Turkish Delight. Tasted again 13 Jan 2016. Hint of vanilla oak but in summary just ok with not a lot of complexity. Satisfactory. 87 points. Tried again in 18 April 2018. Good correct Cab Sauvignon leafy nose with not a lot of complexity. Adequately good.

Jul 10th, 2014Purple red colour. Ripe blackcurrant and plums, mint, herbs and oak. Palate is full of ripe dark berries with fine and mouth-coating tannins. Medium-long savoury finish. Very good.

Mar 1st, 2015Very nice cab sav, goes down smoothly, hint of bitterness but it's good.
