Domaine Naturaliste Discovery Cabernet Sauvignon 2017

Volgens James Halliday 'A celebration of the union between fruit and region.' (94 punten, Value+) en dat is het zonder meer. Elegant en intens tegelijk, met een sappige mix van zwarte bessen, kersen en pruimen. Subtiel en gelaagd, met een snufje laurier, een toefje kaneel en ragfijne tannine toe. Een bijzonder aantrekkelijke wijn, medium bodied at most en perfect in balans.

'Stoer, stevig, sappig! Glossy fruit met structuur en pit.' (Sommelier Sabas Joosten, De Librije)

'A classic and unhindered expression of Margaret River Cabernet Sauvignon, sculpted tannins and lifted red berry perfumes.A paragon of personality, purpose and approachability for those who enjoy soft tannins, succulent red fruits and simply love wine. Aromas of cassis, red cherries and bright red fruit underpinned by a seamless palate of raspberries, plum skin, bright red fruits and silky, textured tannin on the finish.' (Domaine Naturaliste)

'Batch picked and fermented, matured for 12 months in new and used French barriques before blending. Bright crimson; a luscious medium-bodied style oozing with blackcurrant/cassis fruit. A celebration of the union between fruit and region. Value+.' (James Halliday, 94/100)

Deepish red colour with a slight tint of purple. The bouquet is cedary, smoky, faintly tobacco like and subtly complex. The wine is intense and elegantly powerful, with lovely balance and harmony and again, understated complexity that bodes well for the future. It will richly reward even moderate ageing. It already has a lot of detail and is drinking beautifully, but will certainly age well.

The ground cinnamon and spices are a delicious accompaniment to the dark cherries and plums on offer. Soft, lithe and medium-bodied, this ends succulent and attractive. Drink-me-now style.
