Dalfarras. 2006 Cabernet Sangiovese


General: After enjoying a Dalfarras 2007 Pinot Gris Viognier last week (not written up as it was a quick sharing of the wine with friends), I tried this bottle. I prefer the white but will try the other red in their range.

Alcohol: 14%

Colour: Deep red

Bouquet: Initially I struggled to obtain a nose. After 20 minutes, it opened up to gentle animal and earthy tones.

Flavour: Short in length and a little weak. A quick, full mouth of spice and fruit (cherries) that it so quick there is hardly any time to identify and enjoy the flavours.

Points: 81

Notes: Purchased from Vintage Cellars. It has a regular retail price of $13 (195 kc) and was purchased with a six-bottle 20% discount.
