3 Rings Cabernet Sauvignon Barossa 2017

One is irresistibly tempted to suggest that this must be a wine for Elven Kings, but one shall try and avoid further such mentions. A low yielding harvest from their Biscay Road Vineyard in the Barossa Valley, the wine spent time in oak. It is dark maroon in colour, broad in flavours and structure. Warm notes here, earth with animal hides, blackberries, leather and coffee grinds. It lifts on the palate which offers a sweet core of dark berries and cassis. It finishes with fine tannins plus good length. Very attractive now, this should age well for at least five to six years, perhaps longer. And like it or not, I’m sure that the Elven Kings would love it.
