The Dandelion Lions Roar Barossa Cabernet 2018 offers classic cabernet aromatics, from fresh mid-season blueberries to a freshly opened bottle of cassis. The palate showcases flavours of blackberry and blueberry flavours complete with the additional structure of drying tannins.
Tasting notes:
Colour: Dark purple and near-impenetrable with a very bright purple-violet rim edge.
Nose: Classic cabernet aromatics from fresh mid-season blueberries to a freshly opened bottle of cassis. There’s a blackberry and aniseed aromatic edge, too, and then some faint, over-wafting cedar spice from prudent French oak use.
Palate: That oak’s hand-joined and turned framing supports the finest fruit display: pure cabernet sauvignon blackberry and blueberry flavours complete with the additional structure of drying tannins. This red wine’s fruit weight makes it lavish and rich in the mid-palate, but then more late-gifting tannin stretches out the wine, extending the back-palate on and on
