Balnaves of Coonawarra Cabernet Sauvignon 2000

After our lovely riesling, we opened and decanted this Coonawarra Cab Sav. On the nose were aromas of blackcurrant, cabernet leaf, violets, cedar and a little spice. The palate was mid-weighted and superbly balanced, with pureed fruits over some incredibly soft and furry tannins, giving it a wonderfully soft and lingering finish. For me the tannins in this wine really seduced me, making it a delight to drink. A beautifully crafted wine.
50+4+13+18+8 = 93/100
