Bloodwood Cabernet Sauvignon 2018
$48
This is in a nice place, although the oak bridling will meld with a little moore age. Finely tuned scents of mulch, Cuban cigar, graphite, currant and a whisper of menthol. Mid weighted, immensely savoury and sleek, but for the bristle of oak around the seams. Shapely tannins make this. Finishes with a waft of sage and green olive. Sophisticated cool-climate Cabernet here. Excellent drinking now and onwards for close to a decade. 95 Points. James Halliday.
