2014 Spottswoode Cabernet Sauvignon Estate
Community Tasting Note
gteran76 Does not like this wine:
90 Points
Friday, March 12, 2021 - Drank from a 375. I was expecting more out of this wine obviously, if I remember correctly I drank a 750 of the same vintage which I did not enjoyed much either. So maybe this is not my style which it will be sad since I have several bottles...
The nose has some funkiness like an older old world wine. The body is medium plus, molasses and discomposed finish.
I really hope it was something wrong with this particular bottle, I will try another 375 very soon and see...

Hold off until after its 10th birthday. When you do try it next decant it for 2-3 hours before you really start to drink it, maybe taste it a little first but give it the time before casting a judgement. If you still don’t like it let me know I will likely offer to buy yours from you!
