Moss Wood Cabernet Sauvignon 2020
My favourite Cabernet Sauvignon in all of Australia. Cellars magnificently for 10 -20 years + Ian Cook - FWC
90% Cabernet Sauvignon, 3% Cabernet Franc, 7% Petit Verdot. 17% new oak.
Red and black fruit, something of an aniseed pastille thing here too, some floral notes, tobacco, cedar, and baking spice. It’s medium-bodied, kind of svelte and evenly weighted, just a little toasty oak, with some black olive and nori savoury elements. the tannin is quiet, and kind of latent, but swish it about in your mouth a bit, and their quality is revealed, especially on the long finish. I think this is going to be a beautiful wine with requisite bottle age, and is likely to rate (even) higher in time. 95+ points, drink 2027-2043, Gary Walsh, Winefront.
