Vineyard Road Alessandra Barossa Valley Cabernet Sauvignon 2013

A blend of fruit from the Corryton Park estate at Eden Valley and the Barossa Valley floor. The colour is an attractive mature red and the wine is still full of life, even with a decade under its belt. It is, perhaps, this freshness which most surprises and delights. Notes of plums, chocolate, coffee beans, leather and licorice. The palate moves to cassis, aniseed and blackberries supported by silky tannins. There is richness of flavour here, but the balance is retained throughout. This is drinking superbly at the moment and surely has at least another decade ahead of it. So much to like here.
