Tintara. 2005 Cabernet Sauvignon


General: Something being shared by my sister. Fabulous.
Variety: Cabernet Sauvignon
Region/GI: Fleurieu, McLaren Vale, SA
Alcohol: 14%
Bouquet: Deep. Actually a little more plummy than blackcurrant although both present.
Flavour: Dense. Complex. The blackcurrant comes through in the taste as well as dark chocolate. While savouring these flavours which are lengthy, a very smooth, dry tannic finish completes the sensation. Great stuff.
Points: 87
Notes: The 2005 is no longer available in store. The 2007 retails for $27 (486 Kc). The funny thing is that my sister received this as a gift from a friend who took it from her boyfriend's wine collection. It seems he has good taste and we enjoyed it.
