2016 Gipsie Jack Cabernet Sauvignon

Black as night core with a deep dark red black tinged hue. Ripe blackcurrant, mulberry and subtle liquorice aromas intermix with cedary tobacco characters and light spicy bay leaf notes. Medium to full bodied with ample richness to the blackcurrant, plum and liquorice fruit. Toasty vanillin oak and spicy tobacco the undercard. Fine grained tannins. Aftertaste of ripe blackcurrant, plum, liquorice, toasty oak and spicy tobacco.
Cellar 4-5 years.
Alc. 14%

Other Reviews….
This is price-fighting cabernet with dukes raised! We must not forget that despite its warmth, the Fleurieu holds a maritime influence to bestow its Bordeaux varieties with a regional DNA-stoked herbal freshness, complementing their inherent richness. The result can be delicious. Here is an example, purportedly from old vines, many aged between 50 and 60 years. Drink by 2022.
