A classically-styled Heidi Barrett top tier Cabernet from a now legendary vintage. Captivating aromatics of succulent black cherries, Santa Rosa plum, clove, cedar and cinnamon waft from the glass. Well-structured with fine, grainy tannins, the palate offers deftly balanced layers of red and black berries, currant, and hints of mint and pipe tobacco on the exquisite finish. This is a serious contender for long term cellaring through 2025, but delivers sublime enjoyment now (after decanting). Bravo!
