Elderton Ashmead

Such a seamless and elegant wine, with true varietal cabernet of a type you only get in the very best vintages. Blackcurrant and tobacco leaf, with a little black olive. Silky-smooth palate with such elegant tannins and fine-grained oak. Deep red/purple colour with a ripe blackberry fruity dominance. Full-bodied, firm and powerful, a big, concentrated and statuesque wine, with abundant tannin and astringency, length and drive. An alcohol kick on the finish. A big, dense concentrated cellaring special. This will live long and well.A beauty.
