Terre a Terre Crayères Vineyard Reserve 2014
It’s an exemplary cabernet. Firm, well built, plenty of muscle and flesh, and just a bit of aristocratic swagger. A real red wine in a stately, sophisticated manner. It tastes of boysenberry and blackcurrant, mint jelly, pencils, gumnuts and dark chocolate. Both the firmness and the dryness of the tannin come to characterise the wine. There’s a whisper of creamy vanilla to the aftertaste; a parting gift. For all its grand quality it’s really nowhere near ready, let alone drinking at its peak; indeed a long, long future lies ahead.
