Tasting note
Mount Benson Cabernet Sauvignon should bring blackcurrant, blackberry and dark plum, with savory herbs and cedar in the aroma. The 2016 Single Vineyard bottling is expected to have a firm, rounded palate, ripe fruit framed by persistent tannins and a fresh line of acidity. Its stronger phase has passed, yet the horizon reaches 2028; cassis and gentle spice should leave a lightly drying finish.
