  Purchased recently as a museum release from the winery so perfect providence, cork wet for 2mm
  Super example of Coonawarra Cabernet , dark with red on the rim , all the classic Coonawarra Cabernet aromas , still very fresh fruit , long persistent finish , probably good for another 5+ years

  Ready with 15 min of decant, medium sediment in the bottle. Full throttle cabernet from Coonawarra. Tonnes of blackberries cool minty-ness on the nose, in the mouth similar but with greater attack and fruit density. Possibly, a touch too much. Youthful and fruit phase yet, no tertiary aromas at present. Vines planted in 1975. 14.5% alc.

  Greatly enjoyed this Coonawarra Cab. Nose is deep cheery, rustic. Taste is a tart black forest cake. Would benefit from a few more years in the cellar but drinking nicely.
