The ‘Tin Box Vineyard’ Cabernet Sauvignon is another impressive wine from Russell Bevan in 2012. This brilliant wine is slow to come out of its shell, but continues to evolve with each swirl of the glass and build wonderful layers of complexities. Sweet currants, exotic spices, herbs, mocha, violets and dusty minerals are just some of the nuances that come together in this lavish red. It shows remarkable power, concentration and depth with a wonderful soft, plush texture that is round and polished with no hard edges. The finish is long and velvety, laced with dark fruits, mocha and spices. This is so delicious right now, but it will be even better after a few years in bottle.
