Josh Cooper Balgownie Cabernet Sauvignon 2022

Very cool that Balgownie, already excellent, gets a go from Josh Cooper here. And go he does.

A significant cabernet for Australian wine, again. Elegant, refined, silky as with an authority of silty tannin that stretches long into the distance. Blue fruits here, violets and lavender, green olive, tobacco, faint eucalyptus, rosemary and sweet spices. It sits at medium weight, poised, everything seamless and in its place and delivers a rush from the perfume, evocative, serious all over. The wine is delicious and refreshing while being backed with fruit, tannin, cool acid profile, mineral charm, herbal elements, savoury qualities. Fine, fine wine. Watch it go. Drink 2023-2045+. 96+ Points. Mike Bennie, The Wine Front.
