Xabregas Mount Barker Cabernet Sauvignon 2011
Tasted blind in a bracket of 7 Cabernet Sauvignon/ dominant blends. Deep, rich, cabernet. Cedar, chocolate, red berries and a little mint. Elegant palate profile, acid and fruit in good balance; structured - powdery/ graphite tannin. Length, elegance, suggestions of cool (both in presentation and origin I would guess).
I continued to taste this over three days - identity at this point known - it's a grower, takes on a dusky/ dusty elegance, tannin a little more prominent. 92
Tasted on: Tuesday 1st April, a Leaf to Fruit day
