May 8, 2013 - From 750ml. Decanted and served immediately. Colour was a lovely, glossy, bright deep red. Bricking at the edges. Nose was a restrained Cabernet, some vanilla, black fruits a little spice but not a huge amount going on. Palate was far better. Very rounded with some woody, dry Bordeaux style notes, some vanilla, decent mid palate and a short/medium finish.
Surprisingly refined and complete wine, showing very well at 11 years old. Became more earthy with air but was a good, savoury Cabernet Sauvignon, just lacking in a little complexity and perfume to be great. Very good SA wine.
