Jester McLaren Vale Cabernet Sauvignon 2008, Mitolo |
 £10.99 per bottle £131.88 per case
93 points ‘Great Value Australian Wines’ THE WINE ADVOCATE
Jester Cabernet is Mitolo’s “baby” Serpico using 20% Amarone technique of
dried Cabernet fruit adding complexity, roundness and fullness to the mid
palate.
Lifted peppery spice leads into an herbaceous mix of blackberries, currants and
cloves. The partial Amarone method produces hints of liquorice, tar and leather
whilst remaining fresh and vibrant.
The youthful tannin structure will evolve over the next few years to become soft,
supple and smooth.
Drink: Now until 2016
