2018 Vasse Felix Filius Cabernet Merlot

A blend of 50% Cabernet Sauvignon, 35% Merlot, 13% Malbec and 2% Petit Verdot matured in mix of 1-5 year old French oak for 12 months. Opaque black dark red colour with a dark red hue. Nosing offers up blackcurrant and mulberry scents which interplay with dusty cedar, light tobacco, black olive and spicy bay leaf elements. Rich fruits provide a fleshy entry with drying tannins then moving in on the back half for structure. Ripe blackcurrant and mulberry flavours are backed by dusty vanillin cedar, tobacco, subtle black olives and spicy dried herb infusions. Concludes long and refined with good focus.
Drink over the next 5-6 years.
