Primo Yalumba Cabernet from one of the sweet spots for the variety in Australia, Coonawarra. This is an excellent wine. I could sit in a corner and sip this all night and not feel guilty that I didn't share a drop. What a glamour!
Olive tapenade, licorice and blackcurrants galore, a flash of mint pattie cuts in before savoury delish sweeps through the mouth. Earthy with a little leafiness and roasted peppers, it's firm with bitter dark chocolate folding through. Over a couple of days it slowly opened up and shone bright. Drying and mouth sapping, the tannins are edging slowly towards the powdery realm - you know this means business. Coonawarra class all the way.
