O'Leary Walker Clare Valley Cabernet Sauvignon 2023

97 Points - "Perfectly balanced"

“Sourced from the sub-regions of Polish Hill River and Armagh. Aromas scream cabernet: blackberry, blackcurrant, a little leaf, and syrupy dark chocolate. The palate is deeply concentrated, supported by chalky tannins and plenty of oak, yet perfectly balanced. Drives through to an extended finish. Tremendous cellaring potential yet delicious already.” - 97 Points, Wine Pilot

A deep, saturated crimson, with purple hues at the rim. A lifted and vibrant bouquet of dark fruits - bramble, black cherry and blackcurrant, interwoven with earthy undertones of forest floor. Boldly flavoured and complex, the palate opens with rich fruit notes and hints of satsuma plum and charred oak, adding a savoury edge to the rich fruit profile. The tannins are dense yet finely textured, delivering a smooth, polished mouthfeel. Impeccably balanced, the wine carries through to a long, persistent finish.
