Vasse Felix Cabernet Sauvignon 2012, Australia
Featured in: Episode 11
As chosen by: Joe Fattorini
‘Lucky Vasse’ is the translation of this wine, named in honour of a drowned seaman with a legendary tale. Vasse Felix has its own tale, a pioneer in Western Australia, and now famed for some of the finest wines. This shows the estate’s noted bay leaf character over tight-knit currant, eucalypt and oak. But don’t drink it today. Enjoy it in 5, 10, 15 years with venison or a piece of top-quality fillet steak.
