Lot 340 | 2017 Clare Valley Cabernet Sauvignon 750ml

Lot 340
2017 Clare Valley Cabernet Sauvignon

A mixture of ruby and deep garnet. With 24-months in barrel and another 24-months in tank (to further clam the tannins), the bouquet is complex, effusive and quite evolved with spicy red hots ("spicy capsicum" the Aussies call it), camphor, powdered violets, blackcurrant, ripe plum and blackberry. Juicy and substantial on the palate with sweet florals haloing spicy blackcurrent, blackberry, and plummy chocolate notes supported with very-well integrated, barely perceptible tannins. The finish long and clean with excellent persistence of fruit and oak.

Overall rating: 4.3125 / 5 from 32 reviews.
