WINEMAKER'S TASTING NOTES:

Dark and garnet in colour with tinges of purple. In the glass, the aroma expresses currants, raspberry and cedar with a slight hint of vanilla. Initially the 2009 Mystae is more restrained than the Destinae, but with a short decant it reveals its aromatic complexity. On the midpalate the Cabernet Sauvignon takes the lead giving this wine depth and structure while the Merlot and Petit Verdot give a round and long finish. The fruit quality that is present on the finish suggests long term cellaring will be rewarded with complex tertiary flavours.

 

ENJOY FROM: 6-12+ years from vintage
