Tasting Notes

The violets, roses, blueberries and blackcurrants flow from the glass. Full-bodied, tight and very focused with ultra-fine tannins that flow over the edges of the wine. Extremely long and polished. Needs time to open

“Very much a reflection of the long growing season and the overall excellence of the 2018 vintage, this also exemplifies the more restrained style of Don Max that’s been apparent since 2014. Cabernet Sauvignon occupies the limelight, with a supporting cast made up of 30% Malbec, Carmenère, Petit Verdot and Cabernet Franc, in this focused, balanced, mint and green herb-scented cuvée. Fresh, nuanced and layered, it has enticing, deftly integrated (71% new) wood, filigree tannins, blackcurrant and black cherry flavours and a core of pithy natural acidity.
