The 2014 Cabernet Sauvignon leads with spiced maple and star anise, pomegranate molasses and blood plum. It is inky without being dense or heavy and uncoils out through a long and undulating finish. There are notes of red toffee apple and coffee beans, raspberry pip and nori, bay leaf and saltbush. A wonderful wine, it’s only just starting to enter its next phase of evolution. It’s astoundingly graceful and likely in need of a decant. Super. There’s so much going on here. It is sapid and sanguine and speaks of the red gravel and ironstone that it was grown in. We know from older vintages of this wine that it ages for 40 years with ease, and taking into account that those earlier wines were made from younger vine fruit, the drinking window is surely extended now. 14% alcohol, sealed under screw cap.
