Drank with a couple other Coonawarra 2012's, Wynns Siding and Mildura. Typical cabernet from Coonawarra for its $25-$30 price point. This was more herbaceous on the nose then the others, but again like the others rather one dimensional mint, eucalyptus, little bit of cigar box. Pleasant enough and this was my pick of the three. It will hold a few years no problem but again I wouldn't expect this to evolve into much more.

You can smell the alcohol in this wine, but there's enough fruit to make it not so noticeable on the palate. Not my idea of what a Cabernet Sauvignon should be, but drinkable.

Not much Cab character. Bracing tannins, with the right level of acidity. Needs more time. Berry bramble fruit, with tobacco, mint and a strong green streak at this point. Fragrant nose.

Rapidly deteriorated since trying 12 months ago, tertiary notes only remain. This is just an old cab now, drink up, it wont last.
