Langmeil Blacksmith Cabernet Sauvignon 2020 Red Wine – Barossa, Australia

S$61.00

Winemaker’s Notes
2020 was the smallest vintage in fifty years due to one of the driest growing seasons on record, with spring frosts followed by hot and windy conditions at flowering. The heat continued in December and January with a cooler than average February when the reduced crop ripened quickly. The compressed vintage produced juice of great colour, concentration and flavour, making it a year for rich and full-bodied wines.

Colour: Medium to deep crimson with purple hues.
Aroma: A rich and lifted nose of blueberry, blackcurrant and black olive, with a hint of cedar, liquorice and sweet spices adding to the complexity.
Palate: Bright and rich berry fruits coat the palate and combine with brambly spice, hints of black olive and liquorice. Medium to full-bodied with velvety, fine-grained tannins adding to the structure which flows through the long, fruity and spicy finish.
Cellaring: 2022-2032
Food match: Mushroom risotto; braised beef ribs or beef cheeks; duck; hard cheeses.
