2016 Mitolo Jester Cabernet Sauvignon

The Jester Cabernet comprises 20% Amarone fruit, dried for approximately 7-8 weeks, following the Italian appassimento technique of drying grapes on racks. Apart from adding complexity to the final wine, this process also gives the mid palate a sensuous plushness.

Totally opaque very dark red black colour with a dark red hue. Lifted ripe blackcurrant aromas combine with ripe dried cherries, a hint of liquorice, earth, vanillin cedar and subtle spicy herb notes. Rich, full and plush in the mouth, luscious blackcurrant, liquorice and spicy ripe dark cherry flavours flood the palate. Elements of vanillin cedar and light earth are also apparent. Sturdy yet velvet like tannins are barely discernible. Excellent depth and power with a long blackcurrant, liquorice, dried cherry, earthy vanillin cedar and spicy dried herb aftertaste.
Drink over the next 3-4 years.
