Sort of stands out in the lineup these days, being a more oak driven and robust style. But this wine has its fans, and as ever, Tyrrell’s try to keep their members happy. There’s 10% Cabernet here.
Red and black fruit, peppermint, sage, sawn cedar. Palate is fleshy and plump, fresh too, with mint and chocolate, ripe tannin and savoury oak, Cabernet teases out the finish (I’d say), and there’s toast and peppermint, again, with grip on a solid finish. Needs a few years. The stuffing is very good.
