Drink 2025–2043
The 2023 Dry Red No 1 comprises a blend of Cabernet Sauvignon (58%), Merlot (23%), Malbec (15%) and Petit Verdot (4%). Aromatically, the wine leads with lead pencil, graphite, blackberry, cassis, peppercorns, bay leaf and sweet pouch tobacco. On the palate, the tannins are fine and flinty, and the enduring sensation through the finish is one of dried herbs, verdant fruit and chalky texture. I have long been enamored with this wine, and that hasn't changed; however, I am noticing more and more the green inflections in the wine, and while I feel this will contribute untold freshness to it as it ages, it is a touch distracting at this early stage. 13.2% alcohol, sealed under screw cap.
