General: A coolish day called for a red
Varieties: Cabernet Sauvignon 49%, Shiraz 46%, Malbec 5%
Region/G.I.: Fleurieu, Langhorne Creek (SA)
Alcohol: 14.5%
Bouquet: Dark plum, black pepper, other sweet dark berries. More sweet than savoury and a hint of vanilla. Every sniff throws this combination of aromas in differing strengths
Flavour: Good fruit in the mouth with a long finish. Tasting blind, I would have guessed this as a complex Shiraz. The tannins still have quite a kick suggesting this is being drunk too young. Flavour profile according to the nose with brooding complexity continuing
Points: 85
Price: Online bargain of $10 (180 Kc) although its heavily discounted price is usually $15
Notes: 3 more of these which will now sit it out to see how they develop.
