Nez vif, énergique, franc avec des arômes de fleurs, de cassis, de framboise et de fruits noirs frais. L'impression d'une macération carbonique. Bouche juteuse et fraiche mais dominée par l'alcool avec des notes de cerise noire et légèrement animales en finale. 100 % cabernet-sauvignon. Uniquement 1,25 hectare.

Some sweet red and blue berries to the cedar wood, sea buckthorn, cassis and roasted red chili pepper. A tad sweet-and-sour with an elegant delivery on the palate, showing juicy red plums and a saline touch to the fruit. A soft, silky and airy expression of cabernet sauvignon. Drink now.

The 2019 Cabernet Sauvignon is medium garnet-purple in color. It needs a fair bit of swirling to unlock scents of creme de cassis, ripe, juicy black plums, mulberries, and menthol, leading to hints of roses, kirsch, cumin seed, pencil lead, and violets. The medium-bodied palate is wonderfully elegant and refreshing, dancing with beautifully poised minted blackcurrants and exotic spice notes, framed by super plush tannins, finishing long and perfumed.

Gorgeous blue and black fruits on the nose with some eucalyptus, blackcurrant and blueberry aromas alongside rose petals and soft exotic spices - smells absolutely divine. Sharp and high toned on the palate, this is a bit closed right now, it's on the delicate side. Very refined and gentle, you get the blackcurrant and blackberry elements with a hint of violets carried along the palate by fine and powdery tannins. The wood elements take over a little bit and closes down the fruit expression, stopping the enjoyment a little short at this stage. This feels very well worked however, it has beautiful purity to the red fruits, and a lovely overall elegance.

Clarity and nuance, silky tannins, herb-strewn, full of life and character and nuance, a whole other level of Cabernet Sauvignon, reflecting this unusual site. Blue fruits dominate over the darker cassis, adding freshness and keeping the rich concentration at arms length until the layers build through the palate. Smoked oak on the finish but it is barely discernable against the depth of fruit and minerality. Love this. Harvest April 13 and 16, 3.96ph. Just under 1,900 bottles produced.

The gently fragrant and refined 2019 Cabernet Sauvignon offers up a wonderful core of fruit aromas including red and black currants, and touches of gravel lifted by a leafy/herbal complexity. Excellent fruit definition and focus are well matched to classy small French oak. A silky yet firm palate follows that is vibrant and fresh with superb layers of blackcurrant and liquorice flavours that drive through to a long and fine finish with exceptional balance throughout.
