Angus The Bull Black Angus Cabernet Sauvignon 2024

A striking wine of impressive concentration, Heathcote Cabernet Sauvignon can and does stand tall and deserves greater recognition than it often receives. This is very much an elegant wine, nicely evolved and capable of some serious cellaring down the track, combining a mix of heady floral aromatics, leaf and dried herbs with ripe black berries together with regional trademark bay leaf, eucalyptus – just a smidge and not over-stated. It is nicely crafted oak-wise, too, with a subtle but integral layer of lead pencil oak. Fine tannins line the wine, offering good balance and structure. Quite the complete wine now – a very good sign – and while the suggestion is that it makes for a fine accompaniment to steak, that is just the tip of the iceberg as far as potential food matches are concerned.
