Terre à Terre Crayères Vineyard Reserve 2021

Cabernet Sauvignon (58%), Shiraz (21%),and Cabernet Franc (21%).


100% new French oak barriques for 14 months - it's majestic, and whilst that oak is certainly present it wears it well.


Cedar, oak, bay - perhaps a little greenness on first approach - look deeper, see some of that dense black fruit lurking beneath. 


It's softer than one suspect from its 14.5%, an initial deftness to the fore-palate, before tannins and oak tannin weighs in: fine, minerally, mouth-coating with a magnificent spread both in palate volume, and length. 


Structure personified. It's best is ahead of it, but it feels assured and displays its self-conviction now. 96
