O Leary Walker Blue Cutting Rd Cabernet Merlot 2023
The Wine
Deep ruby colour. Lifted notes of blackberry and blackcurrant, with hints of tomato leaf, cinnamon and anise. Soft fleshy palate with black pepper, bramble, black tea, and cassis. Chalky tannins, soft acidity, balanced and persistent. Drinking wonderfully now, this red will continue to age gracefully.
90 Pts Mike Bennie, Halliday Wine Companion 'A pretty straightforward wine from Polish Hill River of dark cherry, blueberry, mulberry mocha and cola characters, prune and fig, choc-mint. Easy drinking style, soft and juicy. A little tug of tannin and a cool, bright finish. Simple, done well, and effortless in its way.'
