About this Item

Series C 2016
6 (1 x 6) 750ml
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

'Series C seemed to cope a little better with the heat of the 2016 vintage than its stablemate Series M, partly because it's Cabernet Sauvignon based with 15% Merlot and only 12% of less stable Malbec. With flavours of liquorice, plum and blackberry, this is a layered, well structured red with impressive concentration, fine oak and granular tannins. 2021-28' - Tim Atkin MW, SA Special Report 2019, 96/100
