Helan Mountain, Xiao Feng Cabernet Sauvignon, Helan Mountain

The first commercial release of their flagship Cabernet Sauvignon. Pronounced nose of cigar box, blackcurrant leaves and black fruits, seasoned with black pepper and sweet spice. Tobacco, dried fruit and pepper spice notes follow through to the palate, with hints of cinnamon. Ripe, well-structured tannins and good acidity suggest some ageing potential. Long, peppery finish.
