Yalumba The Signature Cabernet-Shiraz 2023 Wine (75cl)

The description below is the retailer’s own wording.

Stunning scarlet red in color with a vibrant crimson hue. Aromas are classic, detailed and complex, featuring prominent notes of blackcurrant, dark chocolate, black cherry and olive tapenade. As the wine opens alluring floral nuances, sage and licorice emerge. On the palate the wine is beautifully structured, revealing layers of coffee, blue fruits and spice with long, flowing tannins. This Signature is both stylish and elegant. Yalumba's iconic blend sees 55/45% cabernet sauvignon/shiraz with the '23 release. Again, the release impresses with its fruit purity, elegance and cellaring potential. Deep blackberry, satsuma plum and black cherry fruit with underlying layers of brown spice, cedar, tobacco, pencil case, roast meats, dried herbs and black olive tapenade. Beautifully composed on the palate with a firm yet kinetic, fine-grained tannin structure, lacy acidity and a finish that sails on gracefully for ages. A cracking release. An impressive version, with spiced plum, date-nut bread and bittersweet chocolate notes that are generous, dense and succulent. Shows black and red licorice, white pepper, sage and peppermint details, with elements of black tea, blackberry and huckleberry, along with star anise, cumin and cast iron hints, plus whiffs of smoke and mahogany. Harmonious and powerful on the long finish. Cabernet Sauvignon and Shiraz. Drink now through 2039.
