Claymore Black Magic Woman Reserve Cabernet Sauvignon 2020
Gold Medal - WINE SHOWCASE 96 POINTS - 2023
Gold Medal - James Suckling - 2022
A finely crafted wine like this deserves a classic – lamb is where it’s at for this crew.
Roasted simply with a side of homemade plum sauce or black olive tapenade and buttered baby potatoes.
Easily a cellaring proposition, we expect to see our bewitching minx improve over the next 5-15 years.
Aroma
Mint, menthol and blackcurrant all wrapped up in fancy pants subtle French oak – ooh la la!
The use of first and second fill sexy French oak barrels may make the bean counters cringe but pays dividends in the glass.
Palate
Soft, fleshy and full with embracing lingering tannins this is a wine of weight and substance but with balance as it’s middle name.
Classic Clare Valley Cabernet at its best.
Consider flavours of Christmas cake, cassia bark and soft voluptuous berries melded with subtle hint of cedar from high end oak.
A wine that is in its infancy but will develop amazing secondary characters.
