Initially this was quite pointy with very sharp acidity - everything else as you'd expect it though for a mature warm climate cabernet...tannins were soft though still present, fruit (blackcurrant) showing age, leather and cedar as well as dusty plain chocolate, slight herbaceous notes with cream and vanilla underpinning this. With time, though, the acid seemed to diminish and the wine became softer...mind you, the fruit faded as well...Ho hum.

A good wine for the money; smooth, berry tastes, hint of vanilla; soft finish and soft tannins
