Thursday, May 18, 2017 - Grand Cru Cabernet (pyrmont wharf, sydney): Oof…there's a cliché for you - massive beast wine but, well, none the worse for it this time. Ripe blackcurrant, polished oak, chocolate and spice…actually this is, with time, a little more controlled than I initially thought it would be…more of the same o the palate with a touch of herbaceousness that, when coupled with the alcohol and fruit extraction, puts me in mind of port....

And I'll warrant those were 'proper' United States Dollars, not the Pacific Pesos we have down here masquerading under that title...I trust you have blown the money on something Cabernet based impressive, wholesome and joyful perhaps <strains mind for memories of AVA's> from Howell Mountain?
