An equal blend of Cabernet Sauvignon and Merlot, this features aromas of leafy underbrush, spiced plum and a hint of soy sauce. The dense palate offers coffee, dried plum, black cherry, licorice and a confectionary note alongside supple tannins.

This blend of 50% Merlot and 50% Cabernet opens with earthy aromas reminiscent of mature black plums, along with whiffs of farmyard and wet fur. The palate is rather lean, offering licorice, prune and espresso alongside astringent tannins, but there's not much fruit richness.
