Mount Langi Ghiran Cliff Edge Cabernet Merlot 2017
AU$46, 13.8% alcohol, screwcap, Grampians.
This is fully mature and ready to be enjoyed now. It tastes of leather and raspberry, aromatic herbs and beef stock, with bay leaf, earth and blackberry notes pushing through the finish. I wouldn’t hold onto this for much longer but it’s charming right now.
