Cooke Brothers Auchli Cabernet Sauvignon 2018

Cabernet from Lyndoch in the Barossa Valley. They take both shiraz and cabernet and this cabernet at least from 2018 is the better of them. Life at times is counter-intuitive. That said, it’s a shiraz-like cabernet. It tastes of sweet plum, blackcurrant, violet and smoked cedarwood and it’s delicious to its back teeth. A modest serve of dusty tannin is the clincher. 93 points – Campbell Mattinson, The Winefront
