Marketplace description:
Delatite Cabernet Sauvignon 2000 is a mature Victoria red from a cool-climate producer, showcasing elegance and preserved structure. Deep garnet with a brick edge, it delivers a complex bouquet of dark fruit, cedar and earth that has evolved with age. On the palate it remains balanced, with integrated tannins and a long, savoury finish. A wine that drinks well now with decanting and partner it with roast lamb, beef, or aged cheeses, and it will still reward careful aging.
Tasting notes:
- Appearance: Deep garnet with a brick rim.
- Nose: Mature cassis and black cherry, with plum; cedar, tobacco, leather, pencil lead; subtle minty/woody lift.
- Palate: Medium-full body; refined, integrated tannins; balanced acidity; flavors of blackcurrant, blackberry, and plum, plus cedar, tobacco, graphite; savoury undertones.
- Finish: Long and persistent; elegant resolve with a persistent, slightly earthy fatigue from age.
- Drinkability: Ready to enjoy now with decanting; can still evolve with careful cellar aging for a few more years.
