Flavour Profile: Crème de cassis is a classic aroma for Cabernet Sauvignon and here it is in abundance. Unsmoked cigars in a cedar box sitting in brambles surrounded by a moat of master stock - if such a thing is possible. The Touriga Nacional florals support Cabernet’s aromatics and amplify them.

Structure & Texture: Raspberry leaf, pink jelly crystals, split red wood, star anise and black currants are matched by an oyster shell texture that builds and builds again before a glossy crescendo, and a wall of fruit that slowly disassembles and forces you to swallow. A joyous riot that will bamboozle and polarise. Cabernet Sauvignon needs Touriga Nacional! - Stephen Pannell
