The bouquet opens with blackcurrant, wild blackberry, and cassis, entwined with espresso bean, tobacco leaf, and violet petal—the Syrah lending spice and perfume to Cabernet’s classic depth. On the palate, the plush, structured fruit frames a core of ripe dark fruit, graphite, and hints of clove and alspice, supported by velvety tannins and a seamless interplay of oak influence. Cabernet brings noble structure and cassis-driven focus, while Syrah contributes savoury complexity, black pepper lift, and plush mid-palate weight. The generous new oak adds layers of vanila, toast, and baking spice without overwhelming the vibrant fruit, creating a wine of remarkable balance and poise.
