Cask 23 Cabernet Sauvignon

" Cask 23 is a selection of the finest barrels produced from the estate's vineyards. This is pure Cabernet Sauvignon, aged in 90% new oak. The oak is very evident on the intense blackcurrant nose, yet it doesn't dominate. The palate is suave and broad, given texture with fine-grained tannins. There's impeccable balance and poise, and a long lingering finish, thanks to the wine's fine acidity. Drinking Window 2020 - 2040 "

" The 2014 Cabernet Sauvignon Cask 23 Estate-Grown is a big-time winner with great fruit, terrific texture, full body, sensational purity and plenty of blue and black fruits interwoven. The amazing thing about all of these wines is that no oak shows through whatsoever, although I suspect the percentage of new oak is relatively high. That’s an example of the extravagance and richness of the fruit that the winery is achieving. Again, purity, harmony, complexity and individuality are hallmarks of these wines. Drink this 2014 Cask 23 over the next 25 years. "
