De Bortoli Melba Amphora Cabernet Sauvignon 2019
Cabernet from the Yarra Valley doesn't normally spend 150 days on skins in 1000l amphora, being then pressed off and sent to older French oak. On this showing perhaps it should.
It's less about the aromatics, as perhaps is logical given from the techniques employed in its making.
It's both silken, velvet smooth, switching to a fine and tight grain of tannin that acts as a vehicle for a wine of depth to emerge through to its finish.
It's deep, classy and displaying a persistence of flavour through to its lengthy conclusion. A worthy inclusion in any cellar. 94
