TN: Peel Estate Cabernet Sauvignon 2011

Post by Waiters Friend »

G'day

Crimson in colour. Big nose with lots of blackcurrant, mulberry, kirsch, cassis, a little leather and coffee grounds. The fruit characters (although developed) flow softly across the palate, with integrated tannins and good supporting acid. Full bodied without being overly heavy, and long finish.

Probably at its peak now. Not a typical cabernet, but a very good one nonetheless, in the Peel Estate style. 2011 was a top vintage locally, by the way.

Cheers

Wine, women and song. Ideally, you can experience all three at once.
