1998 Grant Burge Cameron Vale Cabernet Sauvignon

The Burge family planted these vines in 1971. Opaque brick, crimson red colour. The nose displays aromas of earth, cedar, spice and blackcurrant followed by a hint of confectionery and liquorice. The palate delivers a good flavour profile, dominated by toasted oak, ripe blackcurrant, plum and spice. Fine grained, slightly firmish, but well balanced tannins, followed by a long chocolate, blackcurrant aftertaste. Cellar 3-4 years.

RATING: 85/100

VALUE: XXX/5
