Hollick The Bard Cabernet Sauvignon Coonawarra 2022

When two vintages of the same wine are available at the same time – the 2022 and the 2023, in this case – there will inevitably be comparisons, especially when they are the same price. This wine has the advantage of an extra year and hailing from what is generally considered a superior vintage. In the end, it reflects this. A very dark maroon hue, the nose reveals notes of blackberries, coffee beans, aniseed, spices, graphite and chocolate. There is very good oak integration and the wine has focus and balance with excellent length through to fine tannins. For enjoying over the next eight to ten years. Cracking value.
