TASTING NOTES FOR Levrier Anubis Cabernet Sauvignon Barossa Valley South Australia 2018

🍷 Appearance
Deep crimson to brick red with a dense, dark core. Rich and intense, showing both power and early maturity.

👃 Aromas
Layered and complex, with red currant, dark cherry and mulberry alongside cassis and blackberry. Notes of cedar, tobacco, chocolate, coffee and spice add depth and sophistication.

👅 Palate
Full-bodied and richly flavoured, delivering dark cherry, blackcurrant and plum with layers of chocolate, liquorice and oak spice. Plush fruit is balanced by savoury earth, cigar box and subtle herbal notes.

🍈 Texture & Finish
Velvety and polished with soft, rounded tannins from extended oak ageing. The finish is long and savoury, with lingering dark fruit, spice and fine oak integration.

🍇 Overall Style
A premium Barossa Cabernet—rich, opulent and structured. Combines ripe fruit intensity with French oak influence and bottle age complexity, delivering both immediate impact and cellaring potential.

🍽️ Food Pairing
Perfect with grilled steak, slow-cooked beef, lamb shanks or rich casseroles. Also excellent with aged cheeses or hearty winter dishes.

🥂 BBD Verdict
A bold, luxurious Cabernet—plush, powerful and seriously impressive. A standout for premium mixed dozens and ideal for customers wanting a rich, full-bodied red with real presence.
