Cigar and cedar and cassis on steroids. Fruit concentration shirt-fronts the firm oak. This feels old-school, though the fruit is pedigreed. Will blossom
Hard to discern the verdant cabernet notes amidst the scrum of ripeness and char, but a bit of a work out liberates a whiff of leaf, currant and an arsenal of choco-cherry-vanilla-charred oak. A floozy. We all need them occasionally in our lives, I suppose.

Tasting Notes
Appearance: Deep crimson Bouquet: Vibrant varietal blackcurrant, ripe cassis and olive tapenade with lifted notes of milk chocolate, tobacco leaf and charred oak spice. Palate: Rich notes of red currants, plum with thyme and savoury ground spice. Bold tannins and complexity balanced with incredible length.
Winemakers Note
The 2018 inaugural release of Char No.3 Cabernet Sauvignon is a fine expression of archetypal McLaren Vale Cabernet Sauvignon, displaying fantastic varietal characters of cassis, chocolate and mocha. The fine tannins and oak spice provide complexity and length of palate with a smooth finish
