Leconfield Cabernet Sauvignon 2008

2010-08-03T10:31:38Z

93 points - Blackcurrant, dark berry, toasty spiced cedar oak, dark chocolate and a slight mintiness. It’s medium to full bodied with open weave fine grained grainy tannins and additional savoury tobacco flavours. Has length, style and arguably too much crunchy tangy acidity, although it’s fairly certain that its best days are before it.

Wynns Coonawarra Estate Cabernet Sauvignon 2004

2010-04-05T23:50:40Z

93 points - Colour Deep brick red, with a subtle crimson hue. Nose A rich nose with dark, forest fruit aromas, elegant chocolate notes, and that classic, Coonawarra, earthy, herbaceous character. Palate A medium bodied, yet succulent wine. There is a good depth of flavour, coupled with a harmonious spectrum of tobacco, violet and leather flavours. The palate is well balanced with the moderate alcohol level contributing to the lingering finish; complemented with well integrated, lightly toasted oak and a pleasant, firm, tannin backbone.

Wynns Coonawarra Estate Cabernet Sauvignon 2007

2010-04-02T11:52:33Z

92 points - Dark red. Quite an intense and complex nose - green then stalky, capsicum, woody herbal notes, smokey garlic, and aniseed lolly. Palate is spicy and slightly hot from alcohol but possesses a purity of fruit mixed with leather and earth. Very long and intense chocolate coffee like finish. Faintly chewy tannins and good slightly viscous texture. Good intriguingly balanced palate. Third day: improved, smoother

91 points - Smokey cassis aroma. Cassis on the palate, nicely balanced with hints of spice. Faint cigarbox. Medium palate. Long finish. This wine has a lot of things going for it. Yet I just wonder if it could do with a bit more complexity, a bit more intensity. In any case, this is definitely 91, if not 92. I like it a lot.

90 points - Dark red purple. Nose is a thick and heady, plush mix of cake with a core of juicy red berries. Hints of ham. Palate is quite spicy from alcohol but it softens with good palate coverage. Weird leafy green apple notes on the palate. Finish is thick and dark chocolatey Burnt complex oak tannins.

Zema Estate Cabernet Sauvignon 1998

2009-12-01T08:43:54Z

93 points - Nose of fragrant intense earth and spiced wood and cassis. Palate retains a strong good fruit character. Good balance and palate coverage with seamless tannins. Finish is slightly biscuity with touches of forest floor. Quite good. Quite some sediment. Colour is dark red with slightly brick edges. The only noteworthy detraction would be that it's quite fruit forward (still! After 11 years) and sweet.
