D'Arenberg The Coppermine Road Cabernet Sauvignon 2019

91 Points - James Suckling

Tasting Notes: A brilliant expression of McLaren Vale Cabernet Sauvignon. A dense, dark
appearance, with a rim of red and purple. Extremely fragrant, with fresh green and
red capsicum, tomato leaves, blackcurrant, as well as some more herbal notes like sage
and oregano. Very intense red fruits. It’s early days, but we see a little hint of leather in the background. The mesmerising palate follows the nose. We see some similar red fruit characters, including some capsicum, red berries, and red plums. Fresh cherry tomatoes and some white and black pepper on the back palate. Full bodied, but very round and elegant. There are quite pronounced savoury, yet persistent tannins that will develop with time. A wine that needs a richly flavoured meal to accompany it. This has great ageing potential of up to 25 – 30 years.
