Taylors The Visionary Cabernet Sauvignon 2012

Firm, deeply flavoured and densely packed, with a minty bouquet of cassis, dark olives and blood plums tightly knit with fresh cedar/chocolate oak and revealing meaty, herbal undertones. ItÕs sumptuous and deeply ripened, with a long, smooth and seamless palate whose faintly raisined, meaty plum-like flavours and polished oak are framed by a firm, drying tannins. It lacks great balance and integration but should age well.

Winery

Taylors
This comparatively large Clare Valley maker releases some occasionally delicious young wines under its main varietal label Đ such as the 2014 Shiraz Đ plus some rather more expensive and very traditional Australian styles under its St Andrews brand. With another fine release from 2014, the St Andrews Riesling remains the company's finest wine. The new 'ultra-premium' The Visionary label, priced around $120 per bottle, has entered the market with some success, its best wine to date being the very refined and silky Shiraz from 2010 (95/100, drink 2030-2040).
