TASTING NOTES FOR Moss Wood Cabernet Sauvignon Margaret River 2019

🍷 Appearance
Deep crimson to brick red. Bright and concentrated with a youthful vibrancy.

👃 Aromas
Highly complex and perfumed, showing blueberry, blackcurrant, red currant and dark cherry.
Layered notes of violet, musk and cedar sit alongside savoury elements of leather, olive, liquorice and pencil shavings, with subtle nutmeg spice and integrated oak.

👅 Palate
Medium to full-bodied with remarkable poise, delivering blackberries, cassis and red berry fruits.
There’s a seamless interplay of fruit, spice and savoury complexity—tobacco leaf, aniseed and cigar box nuances—creating a wine of both power and finesse.

🍈 Texture & Finish
Silky and beautifully structured with fine, cashmere-like tannins.
The finish is long, layered and persistent, showing dark fruit, spice and a refined graphite edge with outstanding balance.

🍇 Overall Style
A classic Moss Wood Cabernet—elegant, complex and built for longevity.
This cooler vintage leans toward refinement and structure rather than sheer weight, offering exceptional balance and cellaring potential for 10–20+ years.

🍽️ Food Pairing
Perfect with roast lamb, premium steaks, game meats or slow-cooked beef. Also excellent with aged hard cheeses.

🥂 BBD Verdict
A benchmark Australian Cabernet—layered, refined and seriously age-worthy.
This is a must-have for premium mixed dozens or the cellar—pure class from one of Margaret River’s finest producers.
