Efeste's 2020 Cabernet Sauvignon Big Papa is all Cabernet Sauvignon from three sites: Bacchus, Sagemoor, and Dionysus. Semi-opaque ruby/plum-hued, it gives up a solid nose of red and black currants, savory herbs, lead pencil shavings, and Asian spices. It's medium to full-bodied and has a beautifully polished, layered mouthfeel, ripe tannins, and a great finish. This beautiful, elegant Cabernet knocks it out of the park in the vintage, and it's going to evolve for two decades.

Score 16.5/20 · Drink 2024-2038, Jancis Robinson MW, Mar 2023
Medium ruby in colour. Freeze-dried strawberry and raspberry nose with some herbal mintiness. Acid is high and lean on the palate with sandy persistent tannins. Long finish. Quite tight. (SCJ)
