Norwood Shiraz-Cabernet South-Australia 2018

Falstaff Bewertung: 92

The classic Australian red Cuvée – just the sort of wine for which Southern Australia is famed. The Shiraz brings plum flavors and subtle spices, while the Cabernet Sauvignon lends the wine its character and structure, as well as notes of blackcurrant.

Complete description

Vintage Description:

Eucalyptus and menthol, very ripe Cabernet, ripe blackberry, tobacco, licorice. On the palate, immediately fruit-driven, brightly fruity, full-bodied and alcoholic, slowly increasing acidity, soft but still slightly grainy tannins on an oily background, integrated alcohol. In the finish, becoming increasingly firm and mineral. (Ulrich Sautter - Falstaff, May 26, 2020)
