At first the subtle character of the wine is understated; yet with more exposure to oxygen and a splash of time, this Cabernet begins to unfold its wings. On the nose, a generous helping of black plums and juniper berries take the centre-stage, with liquorice following. On the palate this Cabernet surprises with its subtlety and elegance of structured, yet chalky tannins and a vibrant acidity. The taste of cardamom, lavender and bay-leaf contribute some spicy characteristics to the wine. Additional flavours of calamata olives, with cherry tobacco and vanilla linger on the delightfully long finish.
