Fabulous nose of crushed blackberries, minerals and raspberries, with hints of licorice. Full, with very fine tannins and a racy finish. I love the precision of the tannins and the long finish. - 90-93 points Wine Spectator

Tasting Notes

Very pure, ripe cassis on the nose, the essence of Cabernet. On the palate, this is smooth and silky with plenty of flesh and a greater sense of accessibility than many of its neighbours but no lack of grip and rigour either.

Bravo Bruno, encore! Drink 2018-2035+ (85CS:15M)

Notes of small black cherries, violets, graphite, spice and a little pepper introduce themselves one by one, all in perfect detail. On the palate, there is a gear change,...
