The 2015 Spottswoode Estate Cabernet is fresh and complex, a beautiful refection of its warm, low-yielding vintage - balancing classic Spottswoode elegance with plush tannins and concentrated fruit. Opaque deep purple. Packed. Lifted and perfumey. Voluptuous, with a great deal of youthful intensity, demonstrating primary blue and black fruit characters. An enticing potpourri of bakery aromas - chocolate-covered cherries, caramel, spice, coffee bean, boysenberry cream, black cherry, vanilla, crème brûlée, with hints of bay leaf and tobacco, and wonderful underlying minerality. Amazing balance, long finish, structured tannins.
Reviews:
- Wine Advocate: Evolving into a fine, mature wine that's balanced and even a bit restrained, the 2015 Cabernet Sauvignon combines hints of mint with cherry fruit on the nose, then glides easily across the medium to full-bodied palate in a wash of silky tannins before ending long and softly dusty. It's a refined, elegant effort that should continue to drink well for another 15 years or so.
- James Suckling: Glorious aromas of blackcurrant, sage and blackberry. Stone undertones. Full body, round and silky with a focused and bright finish of dark berry and mint. Goes on for minutes. Such finesse and balance. Coolness. Better in 2020.
