NOTES FROM VINOVOSS SOMMELIER

This Bartinney Cabernet Sauvignon is a well-structured and well-rounded red wine.On the nose, it displays aromas of blackcurrant, cedar, and spice. On the palate, it is smooth and velvety with flavours of ripe dark berries, tobacco leaf, and a hint of chocolate. The tannins are firm but well-integrated, and the finish is long and pleasing.
