Langanook 2004 Cabernet Sauvignon Nov 06

It is sealed with a screwcap and also contains a component of Merlot and Cabernet Franc; it retails for around $25. The bouquet shows flinty characters, vanilla notes, with sweet fruit and contrasting spice. Fresh acid combines with dusty tannins and very-ripe fruit to form a muscular-weight wine with a supple consistency and agreeable complexity. The palate is fairly black with blackberry, charred coffee oak, mint, plum, some minor flinty character and cassis which delivers an intense flavour hit. It comes across as a “big red” rather a varietal Cabernet and needs time for the acid to soften. Rated as Recommended with *** for value.
