2002 Maxwell Lime Cave Cabernet (McLaren Vale)
This is a dependable wine, and a fair value as far as cabernet goes. Dark black purple still, this shows no sign of aging. Fairly aromatic, with cassis, blackberry, and licorice scents. Powerful flavors of cassis, almond wood, dark chocolate, earth and a hint of blackberry. Long, rich finish. Maybe not the caliber of the 98 or 97, but very good. Rated as Highly Recommended with 3 stars for value. Wait for another 2-3 years, as I think this will improve.
