Taylors St Andrews Clare Valley Cabernet Sauvignon 2018

Sam Kim, Wine Orbit writes "The captivating bouquet shows cassis, subtle tobacco, vanilla and toasty oak aromas, followed by an impressively weighted palate that's delectably ripe and plush. It's robust and solid as well as velvety and seductive with a prolonged structured finish. Varietally pure with hedonistic complexity, making it immensely appealing. At its best: now to 2040."

The winery writes "The wine has an enticing, lifted aroma of ripe blackcurrants, choc mint, subtle spice and a hint of dried tomato leaf. The overall nose character is one of richness and elegance. On the palate it is a very luscious, rich wine with ripe blackcurrant characters, along with hints of crushed violet petals and subtle oak characters of cedar and fresh tobacco. There is an understated power to the wine, with layers of complexity building across the palate and then finishing elegantly with long, fine tannins. It is a generous, mouth filling wine yet retains poise and the elegance of great Cabernet Sauvignon."
