This has a polished nose of black cherry, blueberry pie, vanilla and crushed gravel. Evolves to charred wood and dried lavender. It’s medium-to full-bodied with firm, sleek tannins. There’s freshness to the finish with hints of blackcurrant leaf. Structured and still tight. Try from 2023.
Score: 94 James Suckling (JS), JamesSuckling.com, December 2020
Clearly a stupendous effort but just far too young at this stage, Spottswoode´s 2018 Cabernet Sauvignon boasts a concentrated, velvety core of black cherries, cassis and dusty loam, then supports it with hints of cedar and toasted oak. It´s full-bodied, rich and youthfully intense, with a long, compelling finish that just won´t quit. Give it a few more years, and it may indeed reach the perfection my predecessor predicted for it.
Score: 97+ Joe Czerwinski (JC), The Wine Advocate (WA), September 2022
