Woodlands Margaret River Chloe Anne Cabernet Sauvignon 2017

Elegant aromas kick things off here with pops of violet, plum, blackcurrant and vanilla cake at the fore. More savoury and earthy notes cascade with a swirl of the glass in the form of graphite, fine cedar, warm gravel, nori salt and tilled earth with some mulberry beneath. Excellent complexity here. The palate is equally elegant and lifted, effortlessly gliding high through the mouth with baked plum, violet, blackcurrant, cedar, and vanilla with an underpinning of turned earth and graphite. The tannins are present and firm but wonderfully integrated, coating the sides of the mouth to provide a lithe frame for the wine’s elegance to glide along. Rolling waves of acidity weave through the finish providing freshness and elongation. There’s a calmness to this wine. It’s svelte, poised and oozing with class.
