Tasting Notes:
The 2016 Cabernet Sauvignon is rich and full-bodied, with dark, almost inky colours and an aromatic profile of blackberry coulis and ripe, berried fruit. The palate is thick and intense, veering toward the edge of overripe, yet maintaining its focus with a strong, oak-driven structure typical of the Coonawarra style. The tannins are firm, drying the finish and contributing to the wine’s impressive length. This Cabernet Sauvignon showcases a good power-to-weight ratio, with the potential to evolve and become even more refined with age. While powerful and bold now, its true depth will emerge as it matures, making it a wine that is well worth the wait.
