description: The most successful of the three Shottesbrooke Cabernets in 2005,  this features bold cassis fruit that's almost grapy in its intensity, framed by toasty, vanilla-scented oak. It's full-bodied and muscular with a firm, crisp finish, factors that suggest it should improve over the next 2–3 years. A blend of 80% Cabernet Sauvignon, 15% Merlot and 5% Malbec.
