Vintage Oliver’s Taranga DJ Cabernet Sauvignon 2012
£49.00
This is an outstanding example of New World Cabernet Sauvignon. It is intensely rich with varietal Cabernet notes- concentrated blackcurrant cassis, cigar box, earthy dark fruits, clove, liquorice, tar and sweet spices. The palate has tonnes of power and an integrated tannin line which gives structure. The finish is extremely long, delicious blackberry jam note melded with anise with an earthy intensity. This wine spends 2 years in oak, all of it French and half of it new, half of it pre-used.
The 2012 vintage has spent 24 months in 50% new French oak before bottling. Deep red with a brick hue in the glass, the nose is opened up with cassis, mocha and cigar box. The palate has a rustic core of red and blackcurrant with layers of sandalwood, liquorice and wet earth. With 10 years of bottle ageing, the tannins have significantly softened, along with the well-integrated oak and dried fruit notes, providing a velvety mouth-feel in the finish.
