Zonte’s Footstep Blackberry Patch Cabernet 2022

It’s splendidly expressed, with aromas of dark plum, blackberry, thyme, fennel, and toasted nuts. The palate delivers excellent weight and fine texture, well supported by loads of polished tannins, making it beautifully structured and harmonious. At its best: now to 2034. Score – 93.
