Seven Hills Pentad 2020

Notes of toasted cedar, ground cloves and cigar box on offer, together with currants and blackberries. Full and polished with finely grained tannins and a silky texture. Notes of nut shells and bitter spices at the end. A blend of cabernet sauvignon, merlot, petit verdot, malbec and carmenere. It’s a bit tight and needs some time. Better from 2025. Score – 93.
