SERIES M 2005<br />
52% Merlot, 31% Cabernet Sauvignon,<br />
17% Malbec<br />
Cases: 20 (6 x 750ml)<br />

Series M has a smooth entrance on the palate;<br />
very even weight for its whole length, and<br />
some ‘fruit sweetness’ in its middle and finish.<br />
Its aromatics are open and inviting: black<br />
cherry jelly, dried flowers, hints of almonds.<br />
The fruit intensity, combined with Cabernet<br />
structure and sense of roundness and richness,<br />
promises that this will be a long ageing wine.<br />
