1997 Water Wheel Cabernet Sauvignon

Peter Cummings delivers the goods yet again and at a bargain basement price! The Waterwheel Shiraz sold out in less than three weeks, the Cabernet won't last that long since there is even less of that available. An essay in ripe abundant primary fruit aromas and flavour. Opaque crimson colour with mauve edges. Superb ripe blackcurrant, liquorice and ripe plum aromas, with delicate vanillin oak background. Totally mouthfilling with its super charged ripe fruit flavours, challenging the voluptuousness of the Barossa. Plum, super ripe blackcurrant, liquorice, spice and toasted oak are supported by fine grained, firm tannins, followed by a very long liquorice toasted oak aftertaste. Cellar 5-8 years.
