Note di degustazione
A gorgeous wine, the 2016 Cabernet Sauvignon Estate Reserve is dark and wonderfully fleshy. Dark cherry, sweet tobacco, mint, lavender, scorched earth, savory herbs and sweet oak accents add layers of depth. The Reserve is ample, creamy and voluptuous in the glass, with an old-school sense of structure to balance thins out. This is a fabulous showing. Dense and yet quite classic in feel, the 2016 is just as impressive as it was last year.

Starting out, the 2016 Cabernet Sauvignon Estate Reserve is the least expensive cuvée and spent 22 months in 55% new French oak. It offers a classic Cabernet nose of blackcurrants, new saddle leather, lead pencil, and dried tobacco. This gives way to a medium to full-bodied, supple, elegant wine that has loads of charm and character. It’s a beautiful wine that will keep for 15 years or more.
The 2016 Cabernet Sauvignon Estate Reserve is once again terrific. Powerful, vertical and structured, with striking savory top notes, the Reserve has a lot to offer. I would prefer to cellar it for a few years to allow the tannins to soften a bit. Sage, lavender, tobacco, menthol, licorice, earthiness and blackberry are very nicely delineated. Once again, the Reserve is quite obviously the reference-point wine here.
Deep purple-black in color, the 2016 Cabernet Sauvignon Estate Reserve is a little closed to begin, slowly revealing fresh blackberries, blackcurrants and black plums notes with touches of eucalypt, cinnamon stick, roses and fertile soil. Medium to full-bodied, the palate delivers mouth-filling black fruits with plenty of spicy accents and a pleasantly chewy finish.
