Intense black currant aroma, also eucalypt and mint. Nicely aged. Smooth tannins. Oaky flavour. Charcoal.
Didn't improve the 2nd day after opening, suggesting that this vintage is ready to drink now. Slightly too much alcohol.</p><p>Tasted on Sat, Jul 12, 2008.</p>Lars2008-07-12T12:44:41ZBalnaves of Coonawarra Cabernet Merlot 1999Terence L.http://corkscore.com/wine/7792#review-322009-09-10T14:00:00Z2008-07-12T13:09:33Z<p><b>90 points</b> - Charcoal and smokey bacon aroma.
