1999 Balnaves Cabernet Sauvignon

Opaque black crimson colour, with black crimson hue. The nose displays aroma of blackcurrant, spice, dark chocolate, mocca roast coffee beans and liquorice, finishing with a tarry end note. The palate is dominated by big flavours of dark chocolate, mocca and toasted spicy oak. Fine grained dry, firmish tannins, with balance, relatively tight, yet with a persistent emphasis on the high charry toast flavour spectrum. Fine grained, dry tannins, followed by a very long dark chocolate, mocca, high toast oak aftertaste.
Cellar 3-5 (2006-2009).

RATING: 93/100
