Still working through the Cabernet tasting from 7 months ago. Oaky on nose with blackberry and black currant. Not up to it in this company IMO. Choc/mint surprisingly for the Barossa. Medium weight unlike Rockford’s Flagship Basket Press Shiraz.

Wow, an amazing Cabernet. 2005 still presenting beautifully, a wonderfully fresh nose representing a really well put together Cabernet. Then you taste it, one of the most lush Cabernets that I have had in recent times, red berries upfront and lush spices in the back. Just classy!

Started out with big fruit but calmed down some with lamb kebabs. Last glass had mellowed nicely to end as a lovely sip by itself.
