A 60/40 blend of Cabernet Sauvignon and Carmenere, the medium-high intensity nose is fresh and herbaceous with red fruited currant, cassis, and oak spice aromas. On the medium to medium+ bodied palate, it is rather woody at this stage, complemented with herbally notes, plus hints of red fruited cassis and currant flavours. It's nicely structured with supple tannins and juicy acidity, while the finish is fresh and lively, with very good length. Tasted Nov. 2023. Score: 88+ pts
