Textbook Cabernet Sauvignon Mise en Place 2016
The 2016 Textbook ‘Mise En Place’ is remarkably serious-tasting, exceedingly satisfying and a must-have for collectors looking for an undiscovered value. A dramatic Cabernet, complex and layered, this shows deeply concentrated blackberry essence, black currant, dark chocolate and alluring baking spices that are intricately woven with a sweet, smoky oak influence. Tasted alongside a bevy of Oakville Cabs, this beauty is guaranteed to be one of the superstars, especially given the value proposal. Enjoy tonight (decant 15 minutes) or anytime over the next 5 – 7 years, peaking 2022 – 2026 depending upon your palate.
