Kilikanoon 2002 Blocks Road Cabernet Sauvignon Oct 04

Almost impenetrable dark purple, the bouquet is consistent with such an opaque drop and shows chary oak, blackberry, chocolate, menthol and mint. An extremely well balanced and constructed wine where the individual components already show harmony which is unusual in a Cabernet Sauvignon of this type and whilst it will drink well young, it will improve with time in the bottle. Even more pleasing from my perspective is the fruit has soaked up most of the chary oak and there a tolerable amount of it on the palate. Ample-weight the wine flavours are all black with mulberry, blackberry, blackcurrant, char, aniseed and mint. Rated as Highly Recommended with **** for value, this is one Kilikanoon wine that should not be overlooked.
