Majella Cabernet Sauvignon 2021

Black raspberry, red cherry and pomegranate. Burdock root, crushed cumin and pulled paperbark stripped from the tree. Nutmeg and cinnamon. Fresh bay leaf, oregano and pepperberry. The silkiest of palates with ripe red fruit flowing down the centre, wrapped in cabernet berries that weave in and out. A mocha coffee and carob sweetness with a touch of anise and tobacco pouch. Such a grateful palate – it’s a dream of a vintage, this one. Drink by: 2032. Special Value. Score – 95. (Shanteh Wale, winecompanion.com.au, July 25, 2024)
