Leeuwin Prelude Vineyards Cabernet Sauvignon 2019

With 2% malbec. Matured for 20 months in French oak (33.3% new). Cabernet and malbec are meant to be together. This is vibrant and intense, layered with cassis and pomegranate, licorice, clove, graphite and nori. The layers are sewn together with threads of saline acidity that create structure within the shape provided by the oak. All things in place here - yet another compelling Prelude release from the team at Leeuwin. Unbelievable value for money. Drink by: 2036. Special Value. Score - 95.
