Burra Brook
Marks & Spencer South Eastern Australia Cabernet Sauvignon
South Eastern, Australia
2018 vintage. South Eastern Australia Cabernet Sauvignon blended by Marks § Spencer winemaker Belinda Kleinig. She obviously knows what she is doing. A rather full-bodied crowd pleaser, not overly jammy black fruit, good acidity and a slightly drying tannic bite. Simple, but efficient. Of course this is not a great wine, but at 5.5 euro you have to admit that this is very well-done. Abv. 14 %.

Full bodied with rich acidity. Endowed with intensive structure and soft palate, it leaves long dryish tastes in finish. Full

A little too strong for our tastes. Then again eating with Chinese food in France. Definitely not paired properly by us.
