80/20% cabernet sauvignon/shiraz, not the usual cabernet merlot blend; matured 24 months in French oak barriques. A powerful and ripe blend for this high part of the world, built around a core of cabernet in blackberry and cassis fruit. At this level of ripeness and generosity, the switch from merlot to shiraz is surprising, bolstering mid-palate density. The integrity of this cool site triumphs in the end, with crunchy blackcurrant fruit, fine-grained tannins and gentle acidity holding impressive line and length. Drink by 2030. Score - 93.
