Wild & Wilder The Pugilist Cabernet Sauvignon 2021

Love this Cabernet from Langhorne Creek. The aromas of redcurrant and light bay leaf are followed by a smooth and seamlessly structured medium bodied palate. Has an appealing chalky feel as it extends effortlessly to a very long finish. This is a thoroughly delicious wine that I would struggle to keep my mitts off now. Although it has a medium term cellaring future if you wish.
