Christmas cake, hawthorn and blackberries. Red cherries and dried bouquet garni. A brush of leather varnish and maple leaf. Cassia bark and sandalwood. Astute acidity themes the wine with dusty tannins that spread the flavours long and wide. It hits all the touchpoints for a well-ripened cabernet sauvignon with little zaps of electric acidity to keep you guessing. The wine ends with red cherry skin on the finish. JH
