Tasting Notes:

Black squid ink, impenetrable colour. The nose shows dark fruits, dark chocolate and olive notes with rich blackcurrant and violets leading in to a richly flavoured palate. The palate shows elegance and length with dark plum and olive flavours relishing. There is a lot of complexity of flavors and mid palate richness derived from obvious highly concentrated fruit and well-balanced oak usage. The obvious finesse and length along with the finely grained yet expressive tannins in this wine shows it has great cellaring potential and could be a true treasure over the years to come.

Technical:

Hand picked then fermented in small stainless steel fermenters to maintain strong fruit flavour from skins. The wine then went into American and French oak barrels for the remainder of ferment where it spent an extended period of time to allow full flavour development and fruit and oak to balance and compliment each other.

Accolades & Awards:

95 Point Rated - Australian Wine Showcase Magazine

"Delightful sweet oaky lift on nose. elegantly structured palate with fine tannins and savoury fruit finish."

94 Point Rated - Sam Kim Wine Orbit

"It’s immediately appealing on the nose with crème de cassis, vanilla, dried herb and roasted nut characters, followed by a sturdy palate offering rich fruit intensity together with spicy nuances. Tannins are beautifully polished and in abundance, making it wonderfully structured and persistent on the finish. At its best: now to 2027. $46.00. www.normanswines.com. Aug 2022."

Normans Chais Clarendon McLaren Vale Cabernet Sauvignon 2021 Dozen is rated 4.6 out of 5 by 5.

Rated 5 out of 5 by Senior1 from Terrific value I have bought this wine on many occasions in the past and will continue to do so. It rewards a couple of years in the cellar and I am always comfortable sharing it with friends. At a family dinner last night my daughter in law summed it up - "bloody beautiful"

Rated 4 out of 5 by mike2558 from Great Drop I have bought this wine over several vintages and found it to be a good quality wine and great value. I also lay them down for 3 yrs as they mature well.
