Chateau Tanunda 50 Year Old Vines Cabernet Sauvignon 2018

Cabernet and Barossa fans will applaud this impressive wine that celebrates the best of both worlds. It’s cabernet all right but also carries with it the generosity of flavour that has gained the Barossa legions of fans both here and abroad. Deeply coloured and it immediately displays inviting and expressive aromatics of mulberry and blackcurrant with a gentle leafiness and mocha notes from extended time in French oak. The palate is then concentrated with great energy and vitality – fruits pastilles and cedar notes on a fleshy and rich palate supported by surprisingly supple tannins. It’s so approachable now but you also know it will kick on over the next decade.
