General: After a few Shirazes I returned to an old favourite - Cab Sav...
Variety: Cabernet Sauvignon
Region/G.I.: Limestone Coast
Alcohol: 14.5%
Bouquet: Restrained. I was surprised that plum was in evidence just as much as the blackcurrant aromas I expected
Flavour: Bad. Plummy juice with some blackcurrant in the background. Tannins still strong. The worst aspect was high acidity which I have not encountered before. (Not sure if this was the result of the high alcohol)
Points: 79
Notes: Part of a mixed case. Very disappointing. Checking online it seems that this Regional Selection was only produced in 2008 which makes me think they had a bad year and put this out through a wine distributer....
