Röda viner

Karaktär

Komplex, fruktig och något floral doft med inslag av svarta vinbär, plommon, boysenbär, apelsin, nötter, lavendel, vitpeppar, ceder och kryddor. Smakrik och koncentrerad men ändå elegant och mjuk i strukturen med silkeslena tanniner. Lång harmonisk eftersmak med en fin mineralsälta.

Tillverkning

Druvorna skördades för hand mellan 30 mars och 9 april. Druvorna avstjälkas helt och spontanjäser sedan som hela druvor utan att krossas. 19% av druvorna fick jäsa i öppna kar. 11-28 dagars skalmaceration. Vinet har lagrats 16 månader i franska ekfat, varav 68% var nya fat och resterande 2-4 år gamla.

Lagring

Vinet vinner på lagring i åtminstone 4 år, men kan under gynnsamma förhållanden lagras 20 år eller längre för att få en elegant och mogen cabernet.

Passar till

Serveras vid 16-18°C till eleganta, smakrika rätter av lamm, nöt eller vilt.

Information

Det var fruktkvaliteten som initialt ledde vinmakarna till att skapa den allra första årgången av Tom Cullity 2014.

Recensioner

Drink Date: 2025 - 2061 The 2021 Tom Cullity Cabernet Sauvignon Malbec was released just earlier this year in 2025, and this will be the only year in which there will be two releases of the wine in the same calendar year. The Tom Cullity Cabernet Sauvignon Malbec has been brought forward in its release cycle to three and a half years from harvest, while the Heytesbury Chardonnay—the estate's flagship white wine—has been pushed back into the following year. So in context, the 2021 Tom Cullity Cabernet Sauvignon Malbec is lighter and finer than all of the previous vintage releases, and it shows more of an emphasis on tannin than fruit. I like this, as it is a reflection of the challenging season from whence it came: warm conditions—not hot—and with constant rainfall. This rainfall also brought with it cloud cover, and the harvest started the latest of all vintages, with the exception of the cool 2017 and 2019 seasons. This is a lovely wine, one that defies and encompasses its year.

Wine Advocate 97p

Rich and succulent, with bittersweet chocolate, espresso and dried cherry flavors that mingle with rosemary and wild sage aromatics on a dense but polished frame. Details of fresh loam, cigar box and star anise linger, with incredible length and focus. Cabernet Sauvignon and Malbec. Drink now through 2035.

Wine Spectator 92p

Drinking Window: 2025 - 2045 Some wines take your breath away – this is one of them. A Cabernet/Malbec blend with 68% new French oak; there’s no shortage of wood, but the fruit glimmers through like a mirage. Potpourri, plum skin, blueberry and damson are laced with sweet wood spice, dark chocolate shavings, liquorice strap, clove, briar rose florals and a compelling other-worldly spice. Bonfire smokiness compels. The intensity of perfume on the nose is matched on the palate, complete with splayed, shapely, firm tannins, a spider thread of acidity and a mouth-filling delicacy of fruit. A pinch of dried cranberry, saltbush and red peppercorn adds a nose-crinkling freshness to the finish. Just sublime.
