Description

An abundance of dark cherries, boysenberries and blackcurrants greet the nose. The fruit spectrum is wrapped around complex layers of star anise, black cardamom, cedar, clove, cumin and fennel seed. There is a gentle lift of freshly picked violets and lavender.

Concentrated and textured, dark black fruits meet cacao and coffee on the palate. There is power and structure tuned with finesse and elegance. A graphite, mineral and ethereal thread is laced throughout. Star anise and cinnamon quill provides an extra layer leading to a fine, powdery, and slightly chalky finish.

Product Awards

"Deep red with a good tint of purple in the rim, the bouquet showing tobacco/cedar, nori/briar and peaty/iodine-like nuances. It's full-bodied and powerful, with lavish tannins, bright acidity and good concentration. Redcurrant and blackberry—red and black fruits both evident. A very smart and age worthy cabernet."

"The 2020 Art Series Cabernet Sauvignon is sweetly fruited, with a cavalcade of dark berry fruits and very fine, graphite tannins. I see this wine yearly in a blind tasting of same-vintage Cabernet Sauvignons from around the globe, and it routinely performs extraordinarily well".

“The power and intensity of the small and early 2020 vintage is evident here. Shows a little of the 2019 but with greater volume of fruit. Deep and concentrated with a powerful statement of black fruits merged with a black olive, seaweed iodine and leafy bay character. There is a juicy succulence here that fleshes out the middle palate. A slightly firmer, concentrated and more tannic wine than the 2019, yet the balancing fruit ensures it retains an elegance and poise.”

"An elegant, classy wine and irresistible as a result. Perfectly composed flavours of cassis and currants, woodsy spices and leafy freshness with a lift of oak, all as one here. Beautiful fine tannins glide across the medium-bodied palate, the equally fine acidity cleansing and invigorating, and it finishes long and very pure. Gosh, this is excellent."

"This is a sensational Art Series Cab. It is certainly my favourite vintage for a long while, and it all kicks off with the most sensitive of perfumes. Cooler on the nose and stunningly civilised on the palate, this is a composed wine with a long-lived stance and a pinch of delightful sourness on the finish. It is all in perfect harmony, and I sense this wine has astounding potential. While I haven’t scored any wines in this review on purpose, a couple of the bottles at this masterclass had me reaching for 19/20 scores, and this was one of them.”
