Bleasdale Iron Duke Cabernet Sauvignon 2020

Description

Open fermented, left 8-12 days on skins, matured for 12 months in French puncheons (20% new). A best-of-the-best barrel selection. The bright colour is as it should be, the bouquet rimmed with the violets that are often talked about (not by me, until, that is, you come across a wine such as this). Notes of cedar and cassis are not far behind in their appeal. Then the glory of this magnificent wine's palate takes total control of all the senses, the sheer intensity of the fruit making the finely tempered tannins and French oak applaud from the wings of the stage. Drink from: 2025. Drink by: 2050. Special Value. Score - 98. (James Halliday, winecompanion.com.au, July 15, 2022)
