2001 Epis and Williams Cabernet Sauvignon
We have discovered something very very special….
There are so many great Cabernets in Australia but a few slip off the radar, and it is only when you are lucky enough to be “ right place right time” that your passion is rekindled. One such Cabernet was experienced by a small group of us who visited the Great little vineyard of Domaine Epis (Macedon) last week.
Alec brought the Laurie Williams Kyneton vineyard back in “86 and knew then that this plot was something very Special.
Alas , the 2001 Epis/ Williams Cabernet is proof of THAT decision.
15 months in French Oak , it is a glass coating opaque crimson colour, that expresses perfume of cedar, tobacco, cassis liqueur, spice box and black currant. Soft velvet tannins, opulent and mouth filling ,this baby has enough structure to evolve over the next 10 years.
This 2001 is a GREAT OZ CABERNET.
Members price @ $65 pb is sensational value $700 per doz. Is even better.
