Terre à Terre Crayères Vineyard Reserve 2020
Author: Shanteh Wale | Halliday Wine Companion
78/22% cabernet sauvignon/shiraz; matured in 100% new French oak barrels for 14 months. Bottle ages for a further 24 months before release. A seductive mix of tulip, blood plums and adzuki bean. Stewed figs, raspberry compote and glacé cherry. Tabbaco cocoa nib and espresso. The 100% new oak is significant but so too is the concentration of fruit. The wine has the fruit star-power to assert itself through the cedar notes. It’s worthy of its price tag and satisfying in its early drinking days but careful cellaring will increase your pleasure tenfold. This will wow many dinner guests.
