Region/G.I.: Limestone Coast, Coonawarra
Vintage: 2012
Closure: Screwcap
Colour: Dark purple
Alcohol: 14.5%
Bouquet: Strong menthol/mint in the with the fruit, although powerful, somewhat in the background. Fruit aromas of blackcurrant.
Flavour: A big wine, with rich, ripe blackcurrant, some cedar and youngish, even tannin that coats the tongue and mouth, giving it a long finish.
Points: 86 (3+6+12+7.5+7.5+50)
Notes: I really liked this, although it is clearly young. I tasted the 2009 and was a fan, and only last month we tried their Durif. I am sensitive to green flavours in Cab, but this is nice and ripe. I'm not a fan of mint/eucaplypt which on first opening the bottle is present but it diminishes with time. A personal preference.
