100% Cabernet Sauvignon, grapes dried on mats for three months and then aged in barriques for 72 months. 2,000 bottles made.
"Interestingly, there is far more oak on the nose and palate on the 2016 than there is on the 2019 – a change in winemaking? This doesn't have the pulsing purity of the 2019 but the tannins are more textured, fissured; ancient-tree-bark-like and fragrant. Like the 2019, the fruit is dark cherry and sumptuous, with ripe-raspberry glints. A hint of cigar. More port-like in fruit profile (although not in structure – far too silk-bed-sheets for that!), this would be rather gorgeous with parmesan or blue-cheese beignets.
