Inglenook, Cabernet Sauvignon 2020

CRITIC REVIEWS

Georgina Hindle

Tobacco, dark chocolate and blackcurrants on the nose, something quite meaty and savoury about the nose too. Succulent and juicy, really quite lightly framed despite the concentration, tannins are well integrated and support the crisp blueberry and black cherry fruit. Supple with a nice energy and bounce, doesnt feel too hot or too much, balanced and harmonious. An enjoyably cool finish too - overall impressive construction and length. Super lively, juicy and delineated. Tobacco, cedar and liquorice mark the finish suggesting this needs time to age and soften but this has excellent potential and should age gracefully. Ageing 20 months in French oak, 50% new. Winemaker Philippe Bascaules.

Lisa Perrotti-Brown

The 2020 Cabernet Sauvignon, with 1.5% Merlot in the blend, is deep garnet-purple in color. Notes of creme de cassis, blackberry pie, and black cherry compote jump from the glass with touches of Indian spices and potpourri. The medium-bodied palate is laden with fragrant black fruit preserves, supported by plush tannins and plenty of freshness, finishing with a spicy lift.
