Brand's Laira One Seven One Cabernet Sauvignon 2009

I must say, this bowled me over.

Although drinking beautifully now, this wine will certainly develop in the cellar easily seeing another ten years.

The fruit for this wine comes from vines which were planted in 1971.

From the colour, to the aroma, the fruit and soft fine finish, this wine is excellent.

Black fruit and and a hint of eucalypt throw out a welcome mat along with the usual Cabernet characters which come out to play. The oak is integrated beautifully but the acid seems a little unsettled. Give it time. Look past that to the supple flavours delivered and the super soft finish which lingers on and on.

On the whole, it drinks superbly now and can only get better.

Available nation wide.
