1999 Noon Reserve Cabernet Sauvignon

Notes sourced from Noon Winery.

Deep red/purple colour, combined with intense blackcurrant and spice aromas –very promising! The palate is full bodied, with a firm finish typical of Cabernet, especially in this vintage. Long flavour. Cellaring for 3-5 years or more is recommended here too. Should be quite special then. 14.6% alcohol volume.

Other Reviews....
The 1999 Cabernet Sauvignon Reserve could easily be called a Pauillac from Australia. Dense ruby/purple, a classic Cabernet nose of cedar wood, smoke, cassis, mineral, lead pencil, and new oak soars from the glass. In the mouth, it is full-bodied, with fabulous concentration and multi-layered texture, high levels of glycerin, and a seamless, concentrated, long finish with well-integrated tannin, acidity, and alcohol. This is no wimpish wine at 14.6% alcohol, but sadly, there are only 290 cases of this 100% Cabernet Sauvignon made from 25-30 year old vines. Anticipated maturity: now-2020. Drink 2003 - 2020
