Medium garnet red with a consistent concentration to the thin cranberry rim. Initial meaty aroma requires 1 hour of aeration to reveal a medium intensity of French vanilla, leather, mulberry, wax and juniper. Medium body, medium acid, medium plus astringency which is slightly lower than you might expect for Cabernet Sauvignon but offers a chalky structure. Medium plus alcohol gives a slight burn. Palate is moderately complex with fresh black currant, tobacco leaf, medium bitterness, and well integrated vanilla. Herb and clove linger on the medium finish
