Cape Landing Blackwood Heritage Cabernet Sauvignon 2022

This is one of the flagships of the range, Cabernet from their oldest single vineyard which has matured for 16 months in French oak barriques, around one third of which is new. The colour here is deep cherry red. The nose exhibits notes of plums, mulberries, dried herbs, cherries and dark fruits. There is also the hint of an undergrowth note here, with some herbals. It is still coming together but certainly progressing very well and there is already good generosity evident. Showing good grip with medium length, the wine really will benefit from a couple more years in the cellar to fully come together (at which time the score should bump up a bit as well) and will then drink well for the next five to eight years.
