  Ahhh the Coonawarra. A beautiful 15 year old Cab Sav, deep dark red colour a beautiful bouquet with plum, liquorice and nutmeg. Tannins are subdued but still there. Flavours of tobacco, nutmeg, red berries and cherry.

  This wine has matured beautifully and still has tannins that would give it years. Red current, licorice and mint this wine has developed a wonderful bouquet. Enjoyed with a light pasta.

  Dark purple colour. Cassis and menthol on nose with nice oak/cedary notes in background. Palate lacks fruit concentration. Firm tannins but short aftertaste, fruit not holding up. Liked the wine but hoping there'll be improvement over time as the tannins soften.

  WXTP Tasting (Brad's Place): This was quite nice, showing a lot more breadth and complexity than the Margaret River Cab of the same vintage that preceded it. The nose was pure terra rossa, with earthy tones wed to a stream of cassis aromas, some menthol and eucalyptus hints, a bit of milk chocolate and then a little moden twist of oak and glycerol notes. Not perfect, but quite attractive on the bouquet. The savoury earth notes picked up there carried on into the palate as well, along with hints of meat and spice accompanying fleshy cassis fruit flavours. The tannins were perhaps a bit too obvious on the midpalate, coating the mouth quite noticeably, but this should sort itself out with a bit of time. Otherwise, it was nicely structured and balanced, with a nice touch of juicy acidity. The finish was just a bit on the hollow side, but there was a decent linger of earth and mint again nodding towards Coonawarra, as the wine drifted away. All in all, very decent.
