Claymore Black Magic Woman Reserve Cabernet Sauvignon 2022

Dry grown vines provided the fruit for this classic Clare Cabernet, which spent two years maturing in French oak. From an excellent vintage, this is black/maroon in colour. The nose is where we first encounter the serious intensity and concentration that is a hallmark of this wine. We have notes of black fruits, mulberries, cloves, chocolate, florals, bergamot, plums and aniseed. There is evidence of the oak, in the process of integration, which is still slightly charry at the moment. There is power and length here, with the finish exhibiting fine tannins. This has fifteen years of pleasure firmly in its sights.
