Character Description
The Angus The Bull Cabernet Sauvignon Central Victoria 2021 enchants with an impenetrable, inky black-purple hue, showing profound concentration. The bouquet offers dense notes of ripe blackcurrant, cassis, and dark plum. These intertwine with complex undertones of dark chocolate, cedar, espresso, and a hint of vanilla spice derived from quality oak aging. Hints of tobacco leaf and a graphite minerality also emerge. On the palate, it is full-bodied and majestically structured. Concentrated dark fruit and savory flavors mirror the nose. Firm, yet incredibly well-integrated tannins provide superb backbone, suggesting excellent aging potential. A vibrant acidity ensures freshness and focus. The finish is exceptionally long and layered, leaving an impression of intense dark fruit, complex savory notes, and the formidable, bold character of this iconic wine.
Perfect Pairings
This monumental Cabernet Sauvignon is perfect for robust, protein-heavy dishes. Its powerful structure, high intensity, and firm tannins complement bold meals beautifully. It pairs wonderfully with prime grilled beef (like a thick-cut ribeye or porterhouse), smoky braised short ribs, or slow-cooked lamb shoulder. Its dark fruit and tannic profile also suit aged, pungent cheeses such as a mature cheddar or a strong blue. Consider dishes with rosemary, pepper, or rich reductions. This wine is for special occasions or when craving a serious red. Decanting for at least one hour is highly recommended.
