Fox Creek Jim's Script Cabernet Sauvignon, Merlot, Cabernet Franc & Petit Verdot 2018, McLaren Vale
Deep ruby with garnet edges. Fresh mint, ripe plum, cassis and blackberry show on the nose, with raspberry, tobacco leaf, cigar box and dried herbs.
Medium-bodied, soft and supple. Raspberry, cherry, plum and blackcurrant move easily across the palate, with well-integrated tannins and balanced acidity. Coffee, dark chocolate and spices add savoury depth. Everything feels together and ready. The finish is persistent and elegant, dark fruit and subtle spice lingering cleanly.
It’s drinking at its peak right now. Don’t wait.
Vino Masters Score: 95/100 ★★★★★
