Dry, Full Bodied style of Cabernet SauvignonCoonawarra, AustraliaSlighty chaulky and assertive tannins have begun to soften, leaving some smokey, dusty mulberry and loganberry characters. Easing into its twilight years, it is drinking wonderfully right now.
Slighty chaulky and assertive tannins have begun to soften, leaving some smokey, dusty mulberry and loganberry characters. Easing into its twilight years, it is drinking wonderfully right now.
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.

Vintage 1999

Brooding, warm, intense and brandied, with a thick cake of blackberried flavour, firm fine tannins, a muscular sense of tarry, fruity length and the kind of poise and pull that cabernet sauvignon is so particularly good at. While there is sweet-ish oak here, it’s largely been gobbled up – really, in the tub-thumbing style, this is an outstanding wine.
