LOT 94 BSR Cabernet Sauvignon 2024

BSR stands for Blewett Springs Road, giving us a clue as to the McLaren Vale subregion from which these grapes hail. The wine spent fifteen months in a mix of new and older French oak hogsheads for maturation. A very dark purple colour, this is a slightly austere style but the nose still offers notes of chocolate, dry herbs, warm earth, plums, tobacco leaves, aniseed, graphite and black fruits. There is good direction, right through to the sleek tannins on a lingering finish. Fine acidity is evident throughout, and well balanced. Enjoy it over the next eight years.
