Rosily Cabernet Sauvignon 2023

As always with these guys, this wine is ridiculously good value. Coming from a wonderful vintage in Margaret River, the wine spent sixteen months maturing in French oak, 35% of which was new. I really can’t think of a single reason why any lover of cracking Cabernet doesn’t have several cases of this in their cellar. Deep maroon hue, this is intense and even slightly austere at this early stage, with good concentration. There is power here but also balance and length. The nose gives us notes of black fruits, cassis, smoked meats, dry herbs, graphite and bacon fat. There is good oak integration. A supple texture with serious length, this should drink beautifully for the next fifteen years.
