Reschke RSR Coonawarra Cabernet Sauvignon 2023
96 Points
Classic Coonawarra from the first swirl; intense aromas of blackcurrant, mint, cedar and graphite rise from the glass, joined by notes of bay leaf, tobacco leaf and a whisper of dark cocoa. The palate is precise and beautifully composed, balancing concentration and finesse. Layers of dense cassis, black cherry and mulberry flow seamlessly over a backbone of fine, silky tannins and vibrant natural acidity, hallmark traits of the region’s terra rossa over limestone soils.
Subtle French oak seasoning (approximately 18 months) frames the fruit without intruding, contributing gentle spice, cedar and structure. The finish is long, pure and persistent, carrying the varietal signature of Cabernet Sauvignon with effortless grace. This is a benchmark Coonawarra Cabernet defined by depth, line and immaculate structure.
96/100 A superb expression of region and variety; poised, polished and classically proportioned.
