Galli Estate Cabernet Blend – April 03

Wine tasted blind

Burnt oak character over dark fruit and mint

A young wine showing slightly powder tannins, refreshing acid and reasonable fruit weight it needs time to come together and show its best.

Finish is long and flavour intensity is good but the flavours stops half way on the palate. The burnt charcoal characters dominate the cassis, mint and green olive flavours but some chocolate and other subtle flavours come out on the tail.

Rated as Acceptable, the wine is a blend of Cabernet Sauvignon, Cabernet Franc and Merlot, it’s from Sunbury Victoria.
