David Arthur Elevation 1147 Estate Cabernet Sauvignon 2021 Wine (75cl)

The description below is the retailer’s own wording.

An intensely deep, ruby red color offers complex aromas of earthy sagebrush with garrigue-like floral notes to dark cocoa nibs and baked cassis-cherry compote. There are subtle notes of black tea, roasted pecans and brown Muscovado sugar. The palate is broad and expansive with chewy mineral-like tannins lingering on the finish. There are flavors of baked dark cherry, cassis and blackberry as well as chocolate toffee and black tea bergamot notes on the finish. Blackcurrants and blueberries with dark graphite and ink. Medium- to full-bodied with fine, linear tannins that run the length of the wine. There's a brightness and energy to this that give tension and focus. Racy at the end. Give this three to four years to come around. A beauty. Best after 2027. Dense and sappy, displaying a well of kirsch, blackberry, boysenberry and mulberry preserves that unfurls steadily, laced with notes of apple wood, anise and black tea along the way. There's a pinpoint feel to this red, with its silky yet tensile structure supporting the deft, suave finish as late flashes of sassafras and iron peek out. Very much its own wine. Best from 2025 through 2045. The 2021 Cabernet Sauvignon Estate Elevation 1147 is dense and packed to the core. A burst of dark red/purplish fruit, lavender, rose petals, sweet spice and new leather fills out the mid-palate. The Elevation 1147 stands out in this range for its rich fruit and equally imposing structure.
