Moss Wood 2014 Amy’s tasting notes

Colour and condition: youthful deep, plum red hue; bright condition.

Nose: a classic young Cabernet nose, with lively and fragrant aromas of black and red currants and satsuma plums. It has a complex back ground displaying white pepper spice, earth and tar and some very soft oak notes. The longer it spends in the glass, the more intense it becomes.

Palate: the young Cabernet theme continues with a mouthfeel that is full bodied and generous, with concentrated black fruit flavours, sitting over a firm but balanced structure of acidity and tannins. It combines great length and an appealing juiciness for satisfying early drinking.

Cellaring: this is a well-balanced and flavoursome young wine, enjoyable now, especially with full flavoured meat dishes. However, it has the structure to be aged for the short term, up to 5 years.
