96 / 100"As ever, an exceptional wine with great texture and structure; abundance of blackcurrant and cassis fruit perfectly framed by silky, round tannins and immaculate oak"

Tasting Notes
The best barrels were selected for this wine. It is 100% Cabernet Sauvignon with 55% aged in the finest grain new French oak barriques. It is intense and balanced with brilliant red berry and violet aromas and flavours, moving towards leather and spice with age. Great intensity and length gives the wine remarkable power and richness.
