XANADU CABERNET SAUVIGNON 2021

Style: Savoury & Detailed

|Ok what can one say about Xanadu¿.. I find that wines are always better when made by a winemaker with a particular distinct hairstyle or head of hair, or in Glen¿s case, a distinct lack thereof. A modern-day Yul Brynner or possibly winemaking¿s Michael Klim Glen¿s Cab¿s are incredibly, annoyingly, consistently excellent¿. Something stupid like nine consecutive trophies at the National Wineshow and a Jimmy Watson thrown in the mix likely reinforces this statement at least a little.¿

Brightly coloured, with big lift, smells of blackcurrants, cedar, classy oak, and a touch, but not a touch too much, after dinner mint. The palate is refined and very fine taking after the vintage that was, but surpassing it, with layers of crunchy red fruits and oh so fine perfectly al dente tannins. I kinda feel that this wine is ready and raring to go and a great option to smash on a Tuesday whilst awaiting some more brooding MR vintages such as 18 or 20 to spend a bit of extra time in the Vintec. JULIAN LANGWORTHY
