Jim Barry Benbournie Cabernet Sauvignon 2015, Clare Valley

Wow! Eleven years on. Still tight and fleshy. Quality Clare Cabernet.

Deep crimson with a purple-red core. Dark vine fruit, blackcurrant and plum, then cedar, eucalyptus, dark chocolate, clove and earthy spice.

Full and deeply structured. Rich, concentrated. Firm tannin, fresh acid. Fine minerality for shape. Oak for cocoa, cedar and savoury depth. Long finish. Balanced. Structure, depth and poise.

We live in such a lucky country.

Vino Masters Score: 96/100 ★★★★★ An 11-year-old Clare Cabernet with vine fruit, silky tannin and a long cedar finish. Amazing.
