"Already nicely open at this stage, with a ripe cedar quality to the cassis fruit. Some discreet notes of tobacco leaves, ash, black licorice and graphite. Lots of dusty tannins surround the palate, giving a dense but caressing sensation. Structured, polished and generous, but extremely well-formed. Really long, concentrated and layered. A blend of 70% cabernet sauvignon, 26.5% merlot and 3.5% petit verdot. Drink from 2026." (James Suckling, 97 Points)
