Di Fabio Cabernets 2018

From a great vintage and single vineyard in McLaren Vale, the wine spent time maturing in a mix of new and older French oak. A deep red hue, it offers some appealing briary notes with dried herbs, bay leaves, cranberries, dark fruits and dusty earth. A seamless structure, with deftly handled oak, the palate sees notes of aniseed and tar emerge. Fine sleek tannins, bright acidity, impeccable balance and excellent length all combine to make this a wine definitely worth chasing. A ten year proposition.
