“A glorious Aussie ‘Bordeaux’ blend from Wrattonbully” – Wine Worth Writing About – Tapanappa Whalebone Vineyard Cabernets Merlot Franc 2021

Source: Wine Worth Writing About
Review Date: May 2025

Dark ruby with a purple hue and a seductive nose of violets, potpourri, black plum, roasted fig, cherry, mixed red and black berries, tobacco, tapenade, roasted peppers, eucalyptus and sweet garrigue.

In the mouth it’s effortless, finely structured, impeccably balanced and elegant with purity and depth of fruit that’s been lovingly kissed by oak spice, charged with fresh acidity and textured with fine Cabernet(s) tannins that you see in Bordeaux within their perfect drinking window. This is exceptional! It meanders its way through to an endlessly long tail that’s mirrors what came before it, holding for minutes and leaves you smiling and sitting back in your chair with content.

⭐️⭐️ ⭐️ ⭐️ – A glorious Aussie “Bordeaux” blend from Wrattonbully

💎 – I think this is an absolute bargain!

🕰️ – Can age for as long as you want it to. A serious decant will do wonders if you want to drink now.

Don't miss out on the next vintage of Tapanappa Chardonnays again!
