IWC: By Stephen Tanzer
Stephen Tanzer's International Wine Cellar, Mar/Apr 07
($38) Deep ruby-red. High-pitched aromas of plum, licorice, eucalyptus and minerals. Sweet, juicy and very young, with lovely spice character to the intense currant, mineral and graphite flavors. Notes of mint and herbs on the back end. This very young and firmly tannic cabernet is likely to shut down in the bottle. The estate's cabernet goes through its malolactic entirely in new barriques Van Rensburg noted that this bottling has historically drunk well from years five through eight but then closes up again! 90(+?) points |
