Xanadu cabernet sauvignon 2024

A mighty challenge to follow the stellar 2022 and 2023 releases under this label, yet this comes remarkably close. It ticks every box for quality cabernet sauvignon. As has become the house style, there's wonderful elegance, poise and structure. Black currant, bay leaf, black olive and subtle oyster shell minerality create a compelling and complex aromatic opening. The sleek palate conceals tremendous power and structure, seamlessly integrated with fine chalky tannins and beautifully judged oak. Another exceptional release under this label.
