Ripe cherry fruit, meat and mint, lovely developed nose and supple mouthfeel. Good length with a lifted, minty herbal character to the finish. (RH)

(54% cabernet sauvignon and 46% shiraz) Ruby-red. Sexy aromas of cassis, cherry-vanilla, mint, dried rose and espresso. Supple red and dark berry flavors are concentrated and spicy, offering a suave blend of sweetness and bitter cut. Gains weight and tannic grip on the finish, which features juicy currant and cherry compote qualities and lingering oak spice.
