Vasse Felix Filius Cabernet Sauvignon 2015

Margaret River, Western Australia, AustraliaRich and velveteen, this Margaret River cabernet sauvignon is joined with 13 percent malbec, flushing out cab's structural side with plush blueberry, blackberry jam and peppery spice. Ample dusky, brooding spices and extra ample sticky/tacky tannins house the ripe fruit, one that spent a backbone-building one year in French oak (13 percent new). Savoury dark cherry, mint and and sultry tobacco lingers on the finish. Though this certainly carries heft, it brings with it an impressive freshness to carry. This will be happy with a few more years in bottle, though showing very well now with airtime.Tasted: 26 June 2018Tasted by: Treve RingPrices:
