2014 Juniper Estate Cabernet Sauvignon
Australia, Western Australia, South West Australia, Margaret River
Blackcurrant tends to cassis, slight cigar box, touch of pencil of shavings, cedar, sweet spice. Juicy, fruit sweet, touches of sour Ribena, tannic grip lends tightness. Fruit struggles to persist. Fresh. I can see the attraction but it's not for me.

2011 Château Segur de Cabanac
France, Bordeaux, Médoc, St. Estèphe
Blackcurrant, a little crushed rock, cedar, cigar box, sandalwood, pencil shavings. Marvellously huge tannins close down the palate completely. Will time solve this? With enough protein who cares! Such fun.
