Full bodied red wines have a noticeably textural mouthfeel with bold, complex flavours. Often deeply coloured.
Dry wines have no trace of sweetness at all.

As suspected, the previous bottle of Lake's Folly Cabernets previously tasted was faulty; the new tasting note reflects the high quality of the wine.
Medium red-purple; a complex bouquet of blackberry, plum, spice and regional earth leads into a delicious, round and ripe palate with black fruits and soft tannins; nicely controlled oak.
