| Description: The 2004 vintage varied from warm to quite hot resulting in a good size crop, with outstanding quality fruit. The grapes were ripe, but quite small thereby providing wines of intense colours and flavours. It was aged twelve months in a tight grain French oak. Deep in colour. The lifted nose is a complex mixture of lush blackcurrant fruit, liquorice and varietal cabernet sauvignon characters. On the palate there is a rich berry fruit with plums and hints of toasty oak. The intense Merlot fruit and velvety tannins combine to offer a rich and rounded mouthfeel, leading to a long and flavoursome finish. Drinking well now and will cellar up to three years. |
