Kaesler 2004 The Bogan
June 06
Noticeable VA gives a lift to the coffee essence, blueberry and touch of apricot
on the nose. A well-balanced drop that’s backed by tightly-grained, smooth
tannins; the deep, strong fruit is enhanced by the fresh acid that cuts through
it with razor like precision and provides a lift. Perfectly ripe, intense
blackberry, dark chocolate, coffee, mint and a hint of apricot flavours provide
and agreeable level of complexity which should improve as the wine ages. A wine
of obvious high quality, the construction and balance is harmonious; the
consistency supple and it finishes with good persistence and length. Rated as
Highly Recommended with *** for value, it’s still very tight and the rating
should improve as the wine matures in about 5 years.
