Elderton Ashmead Cabernet 2016

Crafted in a classic, age-worthy style, it combines concentrated black fruit, savoury complexity and polished oak with firm tannins and impressive depth.

Aroma:

Intense aromas of blackcurrant, blackberry and dark plum are layered with cedar, graphite, tobacco leaf, bay leaf and subtle dark chocolate.

Long and persistent, with lingering black fruit, cedar, dried herbs and earthy spice.
