1998 vintage. Brilliant wine with some sediment. Powerful and strong. Always a specialty for this winery who were one of the earliest adopters of Zinfandel in Australia.

1997 vintage - a privilege to taste this wine again - tasted blind and certainly travelling better than the one from my own cellar in my previous note - a gorgeous wine with beautiful balance of fading fruit & tannin

1997 vintage - on the downward slide but at 18 years of age, showing its classy pedigree - interesting to taste against the 04 tasted at the masked Zin tasting 1/12 ago - fruit has faded but structure & length maintained

2004 vintage - tasted masked in a lineup of 4 Zinfandels - this was the standout by unanimous choice - a seamless and beautifully integrated Australian red - might start buying them again!

Cape Mentelle was an early pioneer with Zinfandel in Australia with winemaker David Hohnen. This was easily the best of 4 masked Zins including 2 Californians which were admittedly younger but very lolly jelly beans. This has reawakened my interest in Zins. Brilliant wine. 18.
