Tasting Notes
I kept a bottle of this wine for bbq. And it was a good decision. It's Complex yet approachable, intense and a superb companion for red meat. Black currant jam, prune, smoke, oak, pine nuts, and eucalyptus. Round, medium-full bodied and almost perfectly balanced. The aftertaste is long and flavourful with a delicious liquorice root syrup finish.
Not sure if I was drunk already. But it seemed like this Cabernet Sauvignon had improved since the last time I tasted it. Generous, yet not simple. It's self-sufficient but friendly enough to accompany food. Pine nuts, bay leaf, eucalyptus, black currant jam, smoked prune and oak. Round and almost perfectly balanced. The aftertaste is long and flavourful with a delicious liquorice root syrup finish. Great value.
It's more lively than Merlot of the same vintage. Beautiful and ripe bouquet: eucalyptus, tobacco, black currant (jaaam), pine nuts, bay leaf, and oak. Round, almost perfectly balanced, long aftertaste with a liquorice finish. Not overly sophisticated, but approachable and delicious.
