This Cabernet Sauvignon has a rich, complex flavor with notes of blackcurrant and blueberry, subtle oak influence, and supporting acidity. The wine has plenty of grip and texture for its price, with sleek, fine-grained tannins and fresh acidity.
On the nose, there are aromas of blackcurrants, stewed strawberries, grilled herbs, chocolate, and red bell pepper. The wine is medium-to-full-bodied, supple, and smooth, with a flavorful finish.
James Suckling gives it 92 points, describing it as very impressive, while Wine Advocate awards it 90 points, noting its balsamic and harmonious character with good ripeness and moderate acidity. The wine is ready to drink now or can be held for further aging.
