2019 Castelli Cabernet Sauvignon

Midnight black in colour with a deep dark red black tinged hue. Wafting through the olfactory senses with plenty of intensity are ripe blackcurrant and liquorice aromas followed by some cigar box, earthy black olive and spicy bay leaf notes. Rich blackcurrant fruit infused with black olives are framed by a sturdy tannin structure. Notions of cigar box, earthy tobacco characters and spicy dried herbs ensue. Dry, slightly grippy finish that nonetheless shows ample length.
Drink over the next 5-6 years.
Alc. 14.6%

Other Reviews…..
Good lord, this is good. Initially, the nose opens with graphite and steel shavings, but the fruit beneath it rises up and absorbs almost everything in its savoury, red embrace. This will show best another year from now, when everything has come together even more. Routinely an impressive wine. This vintage no exception. Drink by 2036.
