This is the 4th vintage I have had of this wine and I remained unconvinced of the general view it is a leading Coonawarra Cabernet. Don’t get me wrong, this is a good drop, and certainly at 1000 baht not bad value in Thailand. Classic berry flavors, tangy herbs,but there’s a certain astringency that takes the shine off the flavors. I really don’t like this in Cabernet but on the flip side it does aid structure and, likely, longevity.

Supper at E & M's (E & M's in the rocks, Sydney): "Colour: Clear, deep, ruby, legs Aromas: Clean, medium plus intensity, blackcurrant, eucalyptus, mint, chocolate, earth, vanilla, black plum, jamminess, leather. Palate: Dry, medium acid, high alcohol, medium plus tannins, medium plus body, same flavour descriptors as the nose, medium plus intensity flavours, medium plus length. Quality: very good, despite alcohol warmth, can drink now but has potential for aging."

Perhaps poor storage but this bottle lacked fruit on the nose and withing 15-20 mins went fully astringent. Shame.
