Coonawarra Cabernet Sauvignon

Good but expected more fruit for the excellent vintage. Noticeable tannin. Will the fruit be there in 10 years? 4th Cab in the tasting.

More austerity than I was expecting from the Vineyard holdings and the excellence of the vintage. Needed a better balance of Cassis and Blackberry fruit IMO. Still the best match for a steak in preference to a Shiraz. Another 5 to 10 years in front of it.

Aromatic, savory, rust, tart red currant, mint, roasted red fruit nose; savory, tart red currant palate with medium acidity and firm, fine tannins; could use 4 years and should go 25+; medium-plus finish

smooth taste, with a nice balance of sour notes and bitterness (in after sip)

See earlier notes but still developing well at 6 years old

Enjoyed

Deep ruby colour with spices on nose with silky tannins and nice earthy flavours on palate
Good balance and lengthy lingering aftertaste

Deep ruby colour not too tannic good balance and great long aftertaste
Good expression of Coonawarra Cab Sauvignon

Smokey dark chocolate and blackcurrant. Lovely

very floral on the nose
