| Extremely deep intense purple colour. Intense, spicy, fairly ripe black cherry-cassis-plum nose cedar notes plus a touch of vanilla stick. Dry, medium-full bodied, well structured, dense, spicy, intense, black cherry-cassis-plum flavours with lots of cedar notes on the lingering, high acid finish. This blend of 75% Malbec and 25% Cabernet Franc has 13.5% alcohol and 4 g/L residual sugar with lot number L17B20 04/06/18 on the back label. Similar to the 2015 (***) that was released on May 26, 2018 at $39.95. |

| TASTING NOTE: This really builds on the nose with notes of pure black currants, iodine, ink, graphite, crushed stones, flint, morello-cherry essence and licorice. The fresh purity of the fruit that permeates the entire palate is what makes this wine. The tannins are so compact and dialed-in, framing tons of violet and lavender flavors and carrying them long on the finish. 75% malbec and 25% cabernet franc. Drink in 2022.
