2021 Corryton Burge The Brigadier Cabernet Sauvignon

Rich, concentrated and full bodied with dense chewy tannins providing a firm structure across the long robust finish.

Impenetrable inky black heart with a deep dark red black hue. Aromas of ripe blackcurrant, liquorice and vanillin cedar flood the nostrils. Tobacco, dried herb and spicy earth notes ensue. Rich and concentrated, the full bodied palate is swamped with ripe blackcurrant and liquorice fruits. Forming across the back half are cedary tobacco, dried herb and spicy earth elements. Dense chewy tannins provide a firm structure. Long robust finish.
Drink over the next 3-4 years.
Alc. 15%

A chocolatey, ripe Barossa cabernet sauvignon with a lot of drinking appeal over the medium-term. The fruits are blackberry, black cherry and blackcurrant with layered baking spice, cedar, vanillin oak, licorice, leaf litter, tobacco and olive tapenade. It sits at the lighter end of full bodied and is packed with ripe berry fruits with fine chocolatey tannins and a balanced finish showing decent carry indeed. Drink by 2035.

In good years the Barossa works super well for Cabernet, showcasing the distinctive blackcurrant and black olive aromas and palate. This one makes quite a statement. It has the power and structure with opulent, dense and concentrated weight delivered with precision. Gentle tannin grip on the balanced palate adds that final touch to complete its honesty and integrity as Cabernet. Drink 2024-2036.
