Penley Estate Coonawarra Cabernet Sauvignon 2021

Classic Cabernet from Coonawarra, from a fine vintage. This has a deep red/garnet hue and is still very young, but already exhibiting full earthy notes, black fruits, bay leaves, chocolate, tobacco leaves and aniseed. There is an impressive structure, with good focus and sleek, finely crafted tannins. The palate sees the emergence of coffee grind notes and more black fruits, blackcurrants to the fore. Espresso touches on the finish. This should drink very well over the next eight years.
