TN: Lenton Brae Wilyabrup Cabernet Sauvignon 2016

Post by Waiters Friend »

G'day

I bought a few bottles of this some years ago, and promptly forgot about them. Time to have a look.

Purple black in colour. Blackcurrant, black olive, bay leaf, vanilla, dark cherry, menthol and mulberry on the nose.

The palate has developed dark and red fruits,including blackberry, redcurrant and cranberry. The tannins are integrated and barely noticeable, and the acid is also moderate and supportive. Medium bodied and a moderate length. Elegance rather than outright power.

Probably not likely to improve, but will hold for a while. I had better not forget about the remaining bottles.

Cheers

Wine, women and song. Ideally, you can experience all three at once.
