Deep, garnet red. From the glass are lifted notes of anise, blackcurrant and bergamot. The pedigree and longevity of this wine are defined by the tannin. Abundant in quantity and quality, we already see the classic hallmarks of famed Cabernet blends. Blackberry, redcurrant and sweet brioche are all in abundance. The sweet and savoury are in perfect harmony in The Quarry, ensuring this will be a wine that will age with grace.

Medium burgundy but deep in intensity. The lift of blueberry and leafy, ripe herbs is unmistakable. That is a wine of variety and place. Cinnamon and clove also round out an exotic nose. The palate is characterised by a ripeness in tannins only seen in these wines in the great years. It carries the medium-weighted fruit effortlessly. After several years of absence, the reward is a stellar release of Quarry.

The colour is dark and brooding, almost opaque. Strong blackcurrant and rip plum aromas dominate the nose, supported by fine cedar notes. The palate is intense and long, powerful tannins have mellowed and allow beautiful cassis and berry flavours to flow smoothly, enchanced by toast, smoky oak and spice nuances. Powerful yet stylish, a very sophisticated wine.
