2020 Greenock Creek, "High Ridge" Cabernet

2. årgang af denne ny vin stammer fra Greenock Creek's vinmarksmanager's egne marker i Moppa. Fra en højtliggende enkeltmark med masser af kvarts i undergrunden er dette en prægtig nyhed. Osende åben Cabernetfrugt strømmer fra glasset i en indmigrende aromasky af forførende solbærgele, kirsebær, mørk chokolade, mint, tørrede urter, blomster, blåbær og fadnuancer. I smagen følger den op med en betagende balanceret kombination af dyb Cabernet-frugt, kraftig sødmefuld tannin og afstemt perfekt integreret syre, som gør vinen levende. Smidig og poleret er dette endnu en fornem udgave, som i finalen har næsten kalket energi. (-2028+) ****

95 points The Real Review: "Dark and youthful colour in the glass. Dark-fruited aromas of mulberry, blackberry, plum, dried herbs, bramble, graphite and spice. Full throttle, powerful and structured, there’s plenty of dark fruited drive, cedar, ironstone and structured, firm, granular tannins and lively acidity. This wine displays classic cabernet characteristics and handles its high alcohol with aplomb."

95 points Sam Kim – Wine Orbit: "It's immediately appealing on the nose showing cassis, thyme, cake spice and roasted nut aromas, followed by a splendidly expressed palate displaying excellent fruit intensity backed by refined texture and polished tannins. Sturdy and substantial with an impressively long engaging finish. At its best: now to 2038."
