James Halliday 94 Points

Cabernet sauvignon, merlot, malbec and cabernet franc all play a hand in this wine. A refined expression of cabernet(s): silky smooth, finely tuned with graphite-laced tannins, concentrated and inky but with a fresh finish way down the line. It's fragrant too, loads of dark berry, violets, tobacco and pencil shavings to sniff on. It feels controlled and tightly wound, drinking well now (though needs a big decant), but a future prospect for the patient amongst us.
