2010 Kukeri Cabernet Sauvignon
Deep mix of garnet and ruby red. Soft on the nose with some solid layers of spices, bell peppers, forest floor, truffles, dark plums, black and red cherries. A little candied with some air. Moderate tannins (7/10) and medium plus body. Palate has layers of dark cocoa, and red cherries. But the fruit is definitely fading.
Made up of 100% Cabernet Sauvignon from the Meadowcroft Vineyard on Mount Veeder. If similar to the 2012, it is aged for 36 months in 50% new French oak barrels.
2016 till 2024.
Price Point:
$$$ - Retail price is around $89.00.Medium ruby with garnet edges. Layered nose that shows characteristics of a wet and cool vintage. Damp forest floor, a little dirty, light bell peppers, truffles, mushrooms and when it finally opened up an hour or so later there were some tight red berries. Moderate tannins (6/10) with a rounded medium plus body. Pureed dark berries with some light vegetal notes on the palate. Moderate plus finish. Glad we grabbed a few of these to see how they develop. At the moment if this does not change, drink till 2024.
