Heytesbury is a barrel selection of the finest parcels of Cabernet Sauvignon, Petit Verdot and Malbec from the 2008 Vintage.
The Cabernent Sauvignon dominant blend is supplemented with small portions of Marlbec and Petit Verdot, which are distinctly perfumed, flavoured and structured. Both complement the restrained power of Cabernet Sauvignon.
Tasting Notes:
Deep red with a purple hue.
Concentrated black and red currant fruit with rustic earthiness. Beneath these robust layers are hints of sweet tobacco, violet, anise, autumn leaves, toasted spice and cedar.
Intense fruit, oak, acid and taning on the palate are remarkable. Initially sweet and flowing,with a mid and back palate packed full of tangy,mineral-like acidity and textured tannings. This amazing structure and intensity refines and focuses as the wine gracefully moves across the tongue drawing to an exceptionally long, dry finish that ends with the beautiful Cabernet perufme of violets and cedar. This wine will integrate and gain further complexity with cellaring.
