2015 Destiny Bay Mystae

Vibrant, youthful and deeply coloured in the glass, the
nose is an explosion of smashed blackberries and cherry
notes with subtle hints of lavender and thyme lying under
the surface. The first taste delivers the rich and generous
berry qualities indicated by the aromatics and has fresh
acidity supporting the fore/mid-palates while the oak
is subtle and restrained in the shadow of the overall
concentration. On further exploration, the aromatics
express Cabernet Franc’s characteristic musk, followed by
graphite, and hints of vanilla/caramel. With a long finish,
licorice and tobacco leaf notes, this wine will certainly
unlock its true potential in the cellar for decades to come.
