This wine was not made in 2019. The 2020 Aphrodite Cabernet Sauvignon is from the Holy Grail vineyard (Seppeltsfield). Two hogsheads and two puncheons were made. It is made the same way as the Ares and bottled at the same time (i.e., 16 months in oak). This is earthy, brambly and full-bodied, with layers of earthy tannin. In fact, the tannins and the fruit come as a single package here, and that suggests that a decant would really benefit the drinking experience. It has notes of dark chocolate, mint, mulberry, oatmeal (Ovaltine overtones), bramble, cedar and cooking spices as well as hints of Australian sandalwood. - Erin Larkin, August, 2023
Description
Two Hands Aphrodite Cabernet Sauvignon 2020 is a powerful, richly fruited Barossa Cabernet built in a modern, luxurious style. The nose shows dense blackcurrant and blackberry with dark chocolate, cassis liqueur, cedar, graphite and baking spice. On the palate it is full‑bodied and concentrated, with a deep core of black fruit, ripe but firm tannins, well‑integrated oak and a long, polished finish. Decadent yet structured, it drinks well with air now and will reward extended cellaring.
