Woodlands Cabernet Sauvignon Clementine Eloise 2016

A blend of 94% Cabernet Sauvignon, 4% Malbec and 2% Cabernet Franc that was awarded Ray Jordan’s wine of the year. Dense midnight black core with a deep dark red black tinged hue. Perfumed aromatics of violets, ripe red to dark currants and mulberry blossom from the glass. Lightly dusted vanillin cedar, subtle black olive, dried herb, subtle bay leaf and spice notes follow on. Medium bodied with a smooth palate feel, rich dark to black currant fruit is underpinned by vanillin cedar and lots of dried herb characters with elements of mulberry, light earth, tobacco and spicy bay leaf also present. Excellent concentration and power. Very well integrated velvet like tannins have plenty of structure lurking beneath for the long haul. Concludes very long, polished and refined.
Cellar 8-10 years.
Alc. 13.5%
