[SOLD-OUT] Cape Mentelle Cabernet Sauvignon 2012

Jeremy Oliver 96 points!
“Very stylish, elegant and focused, with a wonderful core of fruit, this compelling cabernet has a deeply floral bouquet of violets, cassis and small red berries knit with cedar/chocolate/mocha oak and backed by nuances of graphite and dried herbs. It’s long, smooth and polished, with intense, pristine small black and red berry flavoured tightly integrated with handsome new oak and fine, gravelly tannins, extending towards a long, tightly drilled and persistent finish of faint mineral and savoury qualities.”

Wine Front 95 points!
"Nutty oak in support, dark fruit, chocolate, leaf and floral perfume. Medium bodied, but pretty dense this vintage " feels a little more serious " turning up the heft and ripeness just a little. It's kind of glossy yet laden with tannin, mineral and grunt. Has length and impact, while maintain its typical well mannered charm. Feels very much like a long term release."
Gary Walsh, The Wine Front, 2014

Powerful and intense with a deep concentrated marriage of fruit flavours including red and black currants, liquorice and courveture. The characteristic fine yet firm structural tannins frame the fruit perfectly and carry the flavours and balance the mineral elements from the vineyard to provide an incredibly long and classically structured finish.

Tyson Stelzer 95 Points!
"A crunchy and tangy Cape Mentelle ofrecurrant fruit, notes of capsicum, sage and tomato bush around a core of dark fruits. A firm cage of tannins promise a very long future."
