Bos
This is a great example of Coonawarra Cabernet. Its enormous depth of ripe fruit flavours being well supported and complimented by plenty of spicy oak characters. It is drinking exceptionally well now due to the fruit sweetness but given time in a cool cellar it will gather even more richness.
Variety: Cabernet Sauvignon 100%
Region: Coonawarra, South Australia
Colour: Darkest crimson almost black in the glass.
Bouquet: The fruit is ripe yet perfumed with blackberry, blueberry and classic Coonawarra mint characters. These are complimented by vanilla and cedar – like oak characters.
Palate: Rich blackcurrant, blackberry and dark chocolate flavours in a big rich plump palate. The finish is soft, supple and warming. There is plenty of cassis flavour lingers a long time on the palate.
Cellaring Potential: A great example of Coonawarra Cabernet Sauvignon. Cellaring up to 5 – 7 years to achieve maximum potential.
Oak Handling: Twenty eight months (including malolactic fermentation) in 30% first use French oak hog heads, 70% older French and American barriques and hogsheads. Regular racking from and returning to barrel has resulted in a full rounded structure.
