Chateau Tanunda Grand Barossa Cabernet Sauvignon 2021

A lavishly rich and grand Barossa Cabernet from ‘the birthplace of the Barossa' as Château Tanunda has been called. It was established in 1890 and is the site of some of the Valley’s first vines planted as well as its first winery. After falling into decline, John Geber, who has owned it since 1998, has restored both the impressive winery building and the estate’s reputation. It truly is grand. And so are its wines – taste this inky black and intense beauty and see. Lifted aromas of blackcurrant, blackberry and vanilla are accompanied by vibrant, dark berry fruits on the palate. The finish is long with fine-grained tannins from eighteen months maturation in a combination of new and seasoned French oak barrels. The tannins are slowly softening thanks to time in bottle. Many 90+ scores, including 93pts from Sam Kim at Wine Orbit, "Offering excellent varietal purity, the bouquet shows blackcurrant, toasted spice, green olive and roasted nut aromas. It's equally satisfying on the palate delivering excellent weight and persistency, splendidly complemented by ripe fruit flavours with fine chalky tannins."
