2020 Yeringberg Yeringberg Bordeaux Blend, Yarra Valley

Bright medium depth red with a hint of purple: a lighter colour for cabernet-based red. There are attractive, mellowing notes of humus and dried herbs, tobacco and smoked charcuterie to sniff, and the palate is medium bodied, smoothly rounded and middle-palate focused, the tannins very supple and gently drying on the finish. Very attractive wine: very elegant and harmonious—a wine that I really just want to drink! 17 JAN 2023 Drink 2023–2035

A blend of 61/10/10/10/9% cabernet sauvignon/cabernet franc//merlot/petit verdot/malbec from vines planted at this historic winery from 1969-2000. Matured 19 months in French barrique (39% new). A medium and bright ruby red. Even in a cooler year, this always great wine delivers the goods. Aromas of subtle cranberry, blackberries and brambly blackberry leaf, together with a little clove and fresh vanilla bean from the well-handled oak. Medium bodied and beautifully poised, this has fine, elegant tannins contributing to a wine that, as delicious as it is now, boasts a track record that means you can cellar it for as long as you have the patience to do so. An under-priced icon wine.
