Dense dark red to black colour of great intensity. The 2014 Hay Shed Hill Block 2 Cabernet Sauvignon has a dense blood red with a dark centre. The wine displays ripe berry aromas of great intensity with underlying dusty and earthy characters typical of Margaret River Cabernet Sauvignon.
There is depth to the nose indicating there are reserves of complex aromas yet to develop and be exhibited in the wine. The palate is substantial - this is a big wine by Western Australian standards with intense and fully ripe, fleshy sweet fruit filling the mid palate with great palate extension driven by the ripe and mature tannin. The mouthfeel is robust but the tannins are smooth.
Lays it all out there from the first sip - a wine of uncompromising power and style, owing as much to the viticulturist as the winemaker (if there are indeed two). It does, however, do something unusual, with juicy cassis fruit becoming more obvious on continued retastings, tannins less so - normally it's vice versa.
