Eden Hall Block 3 Cabernet Sauvignon 2022
G 92
From a superb vintage for the region, this is a blend of Eden Valley and Barossa fruit, made by Phil Lehmann, who has quickly established a reputation as one of the region’s best winemakers, very much following in family footsteps. The colour here is a deep magenta with the nose giving us aromas of plums, black cherries, spices, cloves, aniseed and blackcurrants. This is quite an austere style for the region, at least in these early days – nothing wrong with that – and offers a tannin/acid balance that is quite mouth-puckering. Best left for at least three to five years before drinking it over the next decade. A wine of moderate weight and decent length. Drink 2030–2040.
