Claymore Wines took full advantage of these conditions\u2014and made an extraordinary decision: Instead of splitting the harvest, the best plots\u2014which in other years are reserved for the \u201cBlack Magic Woman\u201d\u2014were used entirely for the 2024 \u201cBittersweet Symphony.\u201d The result is a Cabernet Sauvignon of unusual density and expressiveness.  Fermented in small batches and aged exclusively in 100% French oak, the \u201cBittersweet Symphony\u201d embodies the Claymore philosophy: the wood frames the fruit\u2014it never takes center stage. Cedar, cocoa, and a gentle roasted note underscore the wine\u2019s depth without overpowering its dark, velvety fruit. A Cabernet that sings. What makes the Claymore \u201cBittersweet Symphony\u201d Cabernet Sauvignon so special? In rare vintages, wineries choose to consolidate their finest harvest\u2014and that is precisely what makes this \u201cBittersweet Symphony\u201d the estate\u2019s exceptional Cabernet: plots that are normally divided between two cuv\u00e9es are, for the first time, fully combined here. 100% Cabernet Sauvignon, 100% Clare Valley, 100% French oak\u2014consistent and uncompromising. The wine embodies Claymore\u2019s artistic conviction: quality over quantity, expression over conformity. The graphite-tinged tannins, the lively acidity, and the long, resonant finish demonstrate why the Clare Valley is rightly considered one of Australia\u2019s finest Cabernet regions. And how does the Claymore \u201cBittersweet Symphony\u201d Cabernet Sauvignon 2024 taste? In the glass, it glows with a deep, dark crimson red\u2014intense and inviting. The nose is immediately apparent: boysenberry and black currant come through first, followed by crushed cassis, ripe plum, and a cool hint of mint chocolate. Underneath, the oak lies calm and supportive: cedar, cocoa, and a gentle toast that lends character to the bouquet without dominating it. On the palate, the wine is supple from the very first second\u2014a silky-matte texture with black fruit gliding over fine, graphite-lined tannins. Blackcurrant and boysenberry pulse through the midpalate, while dark chocolate and minty freshness maintain the balance. The finish is long, warm, and resonant: black currant, cocoa, and a subtle hint of herbal spice that lingers like the final verse of a familiar song."}
