Monday, September 2, 2013 - NobleRottersSydney - Oz cabernet blind (Verde, East Sydney): {screwcap, 13.5%} (DavidC) Absurdly young. Looks black and inky, smells iodine-like, with cassis essence and black olives. Given the theme, it could only be Margaret River, as it proved. It has a charcoal and currant quality to the flavours; it’s medium-full bodied with medium-high, somewhat gritty tannins. Has a medium-length warm finish, but doesn’t seem alcohol-driven. Tidy French oak isn’t obvious either. Plenty of mid-palate presence; the only thing this really needs is time, and plenty of it. And you’ve got to like olives…
