Tasting note
Blind Corner's 2018 Margaret River Cabernet Sauvignon should begin with cassis, blackberry and a leafy herbal scent. Expect a poised but ample palate, its ripe fruit held by fine tannins and enlivened by fresh acidity. The peak period reaches 2035, while the wider drinking range ends in 2040. A savory finish should bring cedar and dark berry together, with enough lift to keep the wine from feeling heavy.
