and bruised peaches with hints of dried herbs and potpourri

The wine shows bright fruit flavors with cherry and blackcurrant followed by earthy iris root and licorice

It is balanced but just lacks the depth and substance that I was hoping it would gain during its barrel maturation

plum and mineral flavors

but already fantastic to taste

Chappellet Signature Cabernet Sauvignon 2021 1.5L Klosterlay and bruised peaches with hintsIt is a marvellously compact and coiled up wine with a towering structure. Very beautifully fragrant dried purple flowers and herbs. Full bodied with loads of succulent ripe blackberry, creme de cassis, graphite, and loamy earth. Very firm, tight grained tannins form the base note of this wine, and the finish is long and rich in wild herbs and spices. Cellar worthy. It will release internationally in September 2024. It is rounded out with 6% Merlot.
