Majella 2002 Cabernet Sauvignon PlonkOz04

 

Fresh dusty aroma well supported by loads of leafy notes and menthol. The fruit intensity is good and whilst there is noticeable minty green characters, the fruit is ripe and also exhibits chocolate and finishes pretty well. Powdery tannins supply a solid backbone and the oak which is also solid, has been well judged. Muscular in weight, the wine is vibrant in every respect, it is a veritable baby that demands time. Rated as Recommended with *** for value, the rating should improve as it matures and it is worthy of cellar space.
