DESTINY BAY Mystae 2021

53% Cabernet Sauvignon, 15% Merlot, 14% Malbec, 13% Cabernet Franc, 5% Petit Verdot

 

Intense colour, but brilliant still in the glass, the nose on the wine shows classic notes of black fruits laced with graphite, black pepper and perfume. Upon tasting there is a wonderful drive of fine-grained tannins across the palate as blueberry, brambly black fruits and fruit sweetness give way to cocoa. A very classic Mystae that offers much to think about while it dances between vibrant fruit and game notes before a long finish. This is sure to be a phenomenal wine to pair with cheeses, beef, or game. Give this one a few years to settle down in the cellar, but expect it to be exciting from adolescence through to old-age.
