The 2020 Gigglepot Cabernet Sauvignon hails from a warm and very dry year, and the density of the fruit characters reinforces this notion. Baked berry pie, cassis, dark chocolate and some aniseed run alongside coffee grounds, toffee apples and cocoa. The top Cabernet from Mollydooker, this has a superior seamlessness and textural presence compared to the M'Aitre D Cabernet tasted alongside. Big, plush Cabernets here. 15% alcohol.

Distinctive, with wild blackberry, huckleberry and salted black licorice notes that are plush, velvety and juicy on a smooth frame. Finishes with notes of cigar box and coffee candy. Drink now. 1,646 cases made, 539 cases imported.??–MW??Region: Australia / McLaren Vale Select to Add
