April 10, 2021 - Drunk straight from the bottle without decanting.
The wine is slightly hazy and looks deep ruby in colour.
There is no sediment in the bottle.
On the nose: Slight barnyard, caramelised/burnt plumbs and cherry. Smokiness at the end with slight apple and spice.
On the palate: Burnt/caramelised fruit (Apple/plumb/cherry/raspberry). Overall not overly sweet becomes more savoury towards the end with Black pepper spice and tobacco notes.
The body is medium/full.
The wine has a smooth texture.
The wine finishes medium.
The wine has fresh smooth to flabby acidity
The wine has medium level of round Tannin.
Conclusion
Past its best IMO. Lack the silky smoothness I was hoping for and expect with a aged Cab Sauv. Stayed consistent throughout the bottle but missing that depth of flavour.1,151 views
