Intense, tannic, high acid. I don't mind those things as long as they are balanced with fruit and other components. This is not.

Just wow! Purchased on release for $21. Cellared sine. No ullage. Cork crumbled on removal. Decanted through a neutral paper coffee filter. Moderate amount of fine dregs left behind. Deep magenta color. Intoxicating, heavy, slightly smokey black fruit nose. Palate filling fruit driven with earthy flavors in the mouth. Long finish in the forward to mid-palate. There was a glass leftover (and it was in the glass) and I had it with lunch the next day. Every bit as good as it was last night. This still has a ways to go. Wish I had more. Score might be conservative. Best wine for drinking pleasure I've had in recent memory and that includes a recent Dunn vertical tasting hosted by Mike Dunn.

Some sediment but no bricking. Medium aromas of chili, thyme, sage, brown sugar, vanilla, black fruits, and cedar.

45 minutes in and it starts coming off as a Bordeaux, a complex nose. Juicy flavours of black cherry, vanilla, balsamic, red plum, bell pepper, cocoa, and minerals. This was excellent with mushroom and sage-infused olive oil.

colour deep almost impenetrable black , garnet to clear on the rim ,minimal bricking 15/15
nose med intensity super layering of aromas dark fruits blackberry mulberry olive cassis dark chocolate just a hint of mint , not enough to say it's Coonawarra , oak spice vanilla , tobacco , clean fruit purity 28/30
Palate med to full bodied, black and red fruits , good acid backbone though out the palate , long clean finish , resolved tannins 42/44
Overall very good example of Coonawarra Cabernet , as I had pnp because of its age the wine responded to aeration , improving with each swirl of the glass , the rewards of patience 16yo now , super balance 11/11

2010 Majella Cabernet Sauvignon

Coonawarra more

12/10/2023 - Brucie69 Likes this wine: 91 points

Two hours in the decanter.

Classic blackcurrent and mint/eucalyptus nose with a touch of vanilla and spice from the oak. With air a touch of leather and leafiness which increases complexity.

On the palate lovely soft fruit and mint chocolate tones. Cinnamon joins from the oak with a beautiful plush mouthfeel. The tannins are integrated and the acidity still nicely balanced.

Definitely in its peak drinking window but no signs of a downward incline. It’s a really solid enjoyable Coonawarra Cabernet, but just lacks a bit of complexity and weight to make it top draw. But for around 35-40SGD it’s great value.

I’m not sure that complexity will come with additional time so while ageing won’t hurt the pull of the corkscrew is calling.

Deep red, fruity bouquet. Blackberries, red and dark plums. Drinking now and will mature well over the years. Full body Shiraz well rounded. A little short on finish.

Excellent!

A nicely refined wine. Bright sweet cherry and blueberry with hints of wood, mint and eucalyptus. Clean fresh tannins. This shouldn't score under 90 unless it doesn't pair with food.

The III Blindtasters: Garnet with tawny coloured rim, high intensity. Developed, medium(-) nose. Warm, dark fruit and menthol. On the palate dry, medium(+) acidity, medium(+) tannins, finegrained almost velvety. Full bodied. 14,5%. Fruit driven, blue berries, integrated oak. Medium length. Very long burning afterfeel. Too much sharp alcohol for my taste.

Exemplary Coonawarra Cabernet, possibly at height of its powers. Dark berries on the nose and palate, and walking the delicate line between fruit sweetness and savoury characters. A really pleasurable drink, especially when paired with rare rump steak.

Serious, complex syrah flavors with hints of old leather arm chair from bottle age. Serious but fun, and ideal for current drinking. (Pairing suggestion: tray of potato chips topped with grated blue cheese hot out of the oven.)

The fruit is fading a little in that the acidity is becoming dominant. It is not ageing well methinks. There is some firm tannin that helps provide balance, I just don't think the journey from here is going to be positive. Drink it up folks
