Tim Adams Cabernet Sauvignon Malbec 2018

Tasting Notes

By co-fermenting small parcels of outstanding dry-grown Cabernet Sauvignon with Malbec, we have produced a powerful, full bodied wine. A long maturation period of 36 months in French oak provides spice and balance to the wine, which is dominated by ripe blackcurrant, black cherry and violet flower aromas and flavours. A long ageing period between barrel and bottle prior to release has melded all wine components to further enhance the prestige of this wine. Patient cellaring will be rewarded, with potential to improve for up to 20 years.
