2005 Thorn-Clarke Shotfire Ridge Quartet

A classic Bordeaux blend of cabernet sauvignon, cabernet franc, merlot, petit verdot and malbec (So actually it is a quintet). Quite a spicy nose, and there is unmistakably cabernet presence – cassis, blackcurrants, mint and a bit of dark chocolate. On the palate similar with bold black fruits, sweet plums, chocolate and finishing on a rather cedary note.
