Tasting notes
Hints of woodsmoke and liquorice mark the nose of the 2013 Cabernet Sauvignon, which is beginning to show just a bit of evolution in its deep garnet colour. Cigar box and cassis notes emerge with air, while the wine is full-bodied, plush, and supple, almost creamy in texture, then adds hints of pencil shavings and graphite on the lingering finish. And hedonistic.
