Joshua Cooper Balgownie Cabernet Sauvignon 2024

One of the best Cabernets some of us have tried this decade, Josh has bottled a wine that is wonderful now, but will reward those willing to tuck a few bottles away.  Hopefully the vineyard is not converted to housing and we can enjoy more vintages in the future!

In their words -  Deep, inky garnet. A wine which immediately makes one sit up and focus. Refined and complex with graphite, sweet cassis, cedar spice, violet and rose, air reveals infinite nuance and detail and a briny, nori like complexity. The palate is flooded with wave upon wave of dark Cabernet fruit, braced by a strict but not overbearing tannic structure and refreshing acid, finishing with sweet violet and cassis, and a wave of perfume. 

The most refined of the Cabernet cuvées, but also the most concentrated and finally balanced. The best vintage yet for us from this wonderful site and vintage and a wine that displays my most prized characteristics - effortless complexity and power without weight. 

Please decant well prior to drinking, or cellar for as long as you like.
