Majella 2006 Cabernet Sauvignon SAMay08 will sell for $28 when it is released and is sealed under screwcap. The bottle had just been opened and the bouquet was varietal, dusty, clean but broody. The bright and juicy fruit delivers blackcurrant, mocha, chocolate, mint, and mushroom flavours that finish with a hint of bitterness, which is frequently a good sign in a young wine. The tannins are fine, soft, silky and drying and are unerringly matched to the pure, deeply-seated fruit. The wine is ample-weight, very tight, has a well-developed complexity, and whilst it's approachable now it will improve over the next couple of years. Rated as Highly Recommended with **** for value, the rating should improve as the wine reaches its peak sometime between now and 2020. The only question remaining is, is this wine as good as the superb 2004? It going to be close. Very close.
