I fell in love with the Dormilona Cab at UnWined 2014 and seeing as the 2015 festival is just around the corner I thought International Cabernet Day would be a good time to crack it. Plus I'm feeling a bit like a lazy bones (aka 'Dormilona' in Spanish slang) tonight so it's rather fitting!
Gorgeous cherry red on the eye with tantalising black currant, toffee apple (or as Mr.Spittoon put it 'caramel-y') and vanilla on the nose. On the palate it's oh so cuddly (check out my post on the SV Wine Awards dinner for the story on that descriptor) - round, smooth with silky tannins and I want it to come in a never ending bottle! No more writing this tasting note as this vino in my lovely Riedel Cab glass deserves my undivided attention!

Vivid currant and blackberry. Fresh acidity and singing fruit. Oak totally in the background. Bramble fruit and wet dew makes this lively.
