Written Notes

Another very impressive red, this one more for the future than the moment. Colour is exuberant purples and vibrant crimsons. The wine is elegance personified. A fragrant nose with notes of dry herbs, aniseed, tobacco leaf, cedar and black currants. Immaculate balance here, with focus and line, backed by underlying fresh acidity. Serious length, a Cabernet with structure and flavour. That said, and while it is very attractive now, it really deserves a further stint – five to ten years – in the cellar. 94 for now, but in time, that will rise.

Probably the most awkward wine in the excellent Longview Macclesfield range, this Cabernet Sauvignon 2020 is nothing if not varietal.

Cedary and dark, with molten yet leafy edged dark fruit, the style mid-weight and true to form yet riper than you think. it’s a little angular, a little firm, a little ripe, all at once. Not a bad wine (and the score reflects it), but I’d still be grafting this over to Nebbiolo/Shiraz/barbera/more Riesling (as they’re Longview’s star varieties) if I was the Saturno boys, but hey it’s just me.

Longview Macclesfield Cabernet Sauvignon 2020. Best drinking: no hurry. It will be alive still in a decade. 17.7/20, 92/100. 1
