Moss Brothers Fidium Margaret River Cabernet Sauvignon 2023

Maturation for this very fine Margaret River Cabernet was in French oak barriques, around one third new, for approximately a year and a half. The colour is a rather flamboyant magenta. The nose has notes of cloves, plums, beef stock, warm earth, black fruits notably blackcurrants, tobacco leaves, kirsch, mulberries and smoked meats and a touch of sour cherry on the finish. The toasty oak has been deftly handled and is well into the process of integration. With medium to decent length, supple tannins and good intensity throughout. Enjoy over the next ten to twelve years.
