Pask-GG-Cabernet-Merlot-2016.png

Attractive and enticing aromas of dark berries and equally dark spices, cigar box and dark plums, roasted bell-pepper and violets. Moments of iron and pencil led. On the palate - a wine wine with a core of fruit showing blackberry and Doris plums, some black cherry and flavours of earth, tobacco, herbs de-provence and iron. Weighty and rich in fruit flavours, firm tannins and acidity hold all the elements together. Youthful, but also quite delicious, a wine requiring some cellar time to settle and seal in all the elements. best drinking from 2022 through 2026. Decant for service before then. Lengthy dry finish.
