Deep, bright red/purple hue. Lovely complex cedar, cigarbox and cassis aromas, fresh and lively in the mouth, with firm but measured tannins providing excellent supporting structure. Long, long carry. A stately, classic style of cabernet with a long future. Cellaring recommended.

Mainly a blend of 2 vineyards: Block 12 and Old Block, with a small parcel of Weightmans Block 5. Vinified separately, matured in oak for 18 months. Having stood in all 3 source vineyards, each component is clear in this wine: density from the Old Block, suppleness from the Block 12 and red fruits and brine from the Weightmans Block. Savoury, long, fine-knit and of supreme elegance. It's not intense cabernet, but it is persistent and very long. Drink to 2041.
