Karl’s Scepter Coonawarra Cabernet Sauvignon 2018

Beautifully ripe and inviting on the nose with blackcurrant, cherry, vanillin oak and mixed spice aromas, it’s succulent and generously expressed on the palate displaying excellent fruit intensity backed by fine chalky tannins. Upfront and delectably appealing. At its best: now to 2030. Score – 93. (Sam Kim, wineorbit.co.nz, Nov. 2022)
