Drinking Window: 2017 - 2038
Cain's 2011 is a youthful, savoury wine, redolent of black raspberry, wild berries, bay laurel and pencil shavings. On the palate delicate tannins and bright acids are elegantly balanced for a lovely expression of this very particular site and cuvée. Might this one day surpass the 2012?
