2015 Elderton Ashmead Cabernet Sauvignon

Matured for 22 months in French oak. Totally opaque black as night core with a deep dark red black hue. Intense ripe blackcurrant and subtle liquorice aromas are laced with cigar box and black olives followed by fresh tobacco and spice notes. Bold rich blackcurrant and liquorice flavours fill the mouth melding into cigar box, dried herbs, subtle black olive and spice characteristics. The sturdily built tannins provide a strong backbone. Excellent power, slightly chewy on the finish with a lengthy aftertaste of ripe blackcurrant, liquorice, cigar box, black olive, dried herbs and spice.
Cellar 6-8 years.
Alc. 14.5%
