Deep garnet-purple, the 2013 Cloudburst Cabernet Sauvignon reveals notes of red and black currants, dark chocolate, dried herbs, cedar and yeast extract. Medium-bodied, elegant and with tense, muscular fruit at this primary stage, it has an approachable, finely grained tannic backbone and great persistence.
The aromatics spiral downwards and outwards from the first moment, and this is really holdings its grip and attitude at eight years old. Clear spice, with a combination of truffle, campfire and undergrowth alongside chocolate shavings, liquorice, juicy blackberry, bilberry and cassis autumnal brambled fruits that are well integrated with the tannins. A cushion of air through the finish with a clear saline influence, reflecting a year that saw long, slow ripening. This is a lovely Cabernet, open and ready to drink but with plenty of life ahead. 1,688 bottles produced, around 50% new oak. (Drink between 2021-2034)
