Wow, this wasn't supposed to age but thank goodness I kept it this long. A real full Cab with chocolate, cigar and berries. Yum, it went down perfectly with the 12-course decadence at the local Italian Restaurant.

NobleRottersSydney - Taylors wines with Mitchell Taylor (Lucio's, Paddington): {screwcap, 14.5%, A$28} Includes Coonawarra fruit. This is an attempt to marry the structure of Coonawarra fruit with the mid-palate richness of Clare. The nose is all blackcurrant and blackberries, with rich oak, and just a touch of herb/green cabernet. A medium weight wine all round; acid, tannin, intensity of flavour all weigh in equally, but it does actually feel a little constructed on the palate. Perhaps it’s just young and greater integration will come, but now it’s almost less than the sum of its parts. The fruit flavours are not ungenerous, but they cluster together on the front palate. Another five years age might help, but I don’t think it’s a long term prospect.
