This classically-styled claret did not merit an outstanding rating because it lacks sufficient concentration to compete with the estate’s top vintages. However, it offers a dark ruby/plum color, nicely evolved notes of roasted herbs, sweet cherries and currants, and loamy earth, medium-weight, light to moderate tannin, and an elegant style. If it puts on weight over the next few years, it may deserve a slightly higher score.

Intense aromas of currant bush and berries that turn to roses. Full-bodied, with silky tannins and a floral, leafy and fruity aftertaste. Builds on the palate. Needs time. Best after 2011. 17,500 cases made.

Quite evolved Cabernet. If I were served this as coming from somewhere other than Bordeaux (eg Italy, Chile or Margaret River) I suspect I would rave about it. Very fluid and well balanced, though no longer uniquely Bordeaux. Lovely well-balanced minerally wine, but without great concentration. And a tad tart.
