Castelli Estate Frankland River Cabernet Sauvignon 2018

Cabernet from the Frankland River region which saw 16 months maturation in a range of new, one-year-old and two-year-old French oak barriques. Inky magenta hue, there are deep and pleasing aromatics here with blackberries to the fore, supported by cloves, leather, bay leaves, chocolate and plums. A wine with serious concentration and intensity, good focus plus impressive length. The finish has delightfully silky tannins so expect the wine to drink well over the next eight to ten years and there will be room for improvement for the score over that time.
