About this Item
A wine of quiet authority, defined by Cabernet Sauvignon’s commanding structure. Firm tannins and deep texture create a seamless, powerful expression. Merlot and Malbec add depth, while Cabernet Franc brings freshness and grip. It lingers confidently, compelling in youth and extraordinary with age.

Critics Ratings
'Dense yet refined Cab-led Bordeaux blend with Merlot, Cabernet Franc and Malbec (19/15/9), 2015 deserves lengthy cellaring, 22 months in French oak (67% new) adding to structure, poise and persistent cedarwood perfume.' - Platter's SA Wine Guide 2019, 4.5* (94/100)
'C stands for Cabernet Sauvignon, which never represents less than half of the blend. The brilliant 2015 has 19% Merlot, 15% Cabernet Franc and 9% Malbec, but it's Cabernet Sauvignon that provides the backbone. Rich, structured and serious, with lots of cigar box perfume, fine-boned tannins and considerable potential. 2022-30.' - Tim Atkin SA Special Report 2018, 96/100
