Deep red to crimson in color. The aromatics display baking spices, plum, licorice allsorts, and blackberries. There are nuances of sea spray and ozone, combined with a melange of dark berries. The palate is rich and supple with great depth. Dark fruits, such as blueberry, are complemented by a savory mid palate, showing tapenade and dried herbs. There are lovely bitter chocolate tannins and the recognizable structure and architecture that Coonawarra Cabernet is famous for. The palate crosses the line between savory and fruit sweetness beautifully and will be a lovely youthful wine as well as maturing into an elegant and structural older wine.
Enjoy with barbecued lamb loin chops or mushroom, tomato & basil lasagna.
