This is the first vintage I discovered how good the top Cabernet from Woodlands is (always named after a family member or friend). This is the 3rd bottle from an original 6. A dense Ruby red in colour Herbal, Bay Leaf and some cassis aromas . Very much a capsicum red pepper taste on the medium weight palate with other herbaceous characters which dominate the fruit - lacking cassis and blackberry. A good wine nonetheless. Will continue on until at least it’s 20th Birthday but I’m inclined to drink the remaining 3 bottles in the next few years before the fruit disappears altogether.

Sep 23rd, 2021The premium red cuvée from Woodlands is named after family members or friends. The Nicolas is not as ripe as subsequent vintages but still exhibits dusty, cassis, left bank Bordeaux notes. Quite tannic with a long future.
