85/15 Merlot & Cab Sauv. Lovely, complex, elegant & very attractive nose has medium-high intensity aromatics of crushed & stewed dark berry, black cherry, sweet spices, wet earth, olive & sandalwood. It's medium-full bodied w/ complex & maturing flavours of dark berry-cherry, sweet spices, earth, currant & cassis. Acids still quite juicy & refreshing. Some dried cherry & floral notes on mid-palate. Maturing tannins are structured, refined & somewhat grippy-chalky, w/ pleasing mouthfeel. Earthy w/ black cherry, olive & sweet spice notes linger on long finish. Tasted Dec 2022. Score: 92+ pts
