Reschke Empyrean Coonawarra Cabernet 2018

From a single vineyard in Coonawarra, this fine Cabernet has the benefit of both being from a wonderful vintage and already having quite a few years maturing in the cellar. A deep red/maroon hue, there is some warm, toasty oak still evident, which adds to the overall impressive impression, rather than detracting in any way. There are notes of coffee beans, plums, chocolate, black fruits, soy and aniseed. This is a wine of poise and focus with some serious grip and a lingering finish. Still has a decade plus ahead of it.
