[SOLD-OUT] Mitchell Sevenhill Cabernet Sauvignon 2009

How amazing. Here's an eight-year-old cabernet at genuinely accessible rates, and made to last longer. Extended skin maceration, two years in oak, six in bottle all coming to fruition now with true cabernet aromas of black fruits and black olives also framing the flavour spectrum. At 13.4 per cent alc it's agreeably medium-bodied with the tannins easing back into the shadows to allow the weave and mesh to trickle slowly and comfortably. Quite Special. FOOD:

Mitchell Cabernet Sauvignon is a classic Clare Valley wine. It shows strong 'berry' flavours on the nose, with overtones of dusty new French oak aromas. The palate is very full flavoured and the wine has a firm tannic finish. When seen as a young wine it is the potential of the structure which stands out. The essential ingredients - fruit, oak, acidity and tannins - are present in the right proportions. All that is needed is 5 to 10 years (or more) in the cellar to allow these components to harmonise. The result is an elegant wine of great power.
