Dr. Owen Bargreen

The 2016 Morlet ‘Passionnement’ Cabernet Sauvignon is a barrel-select wine which was dedicated to the winemaker’s wife, Jodie Morlet. On the nose this shows beautiful fresh red rose petals with deep dark fruits, tobacco leaf and a touch of milk chocolate. Dense and marvelously layered, this wine seamlessly glides across the mid-palate, delivering creme de cassis, blackberry pie, dusty terroir and shades of red cherry tomato flavors that mingle harmoniously together. While impressive now, this will only improve with some bottle age. Drink 2020-2040- 95
