To describe the setting for this Cabernet we must return to the debate of the role of climate-weather in the development of wine flavours and from this whether cool climate wines are better than warm climate wines.
It should not be like this yet alas way too many that have appointed themselves as experts lecture us about our mistaken ways of liking wines with flavour. They see the higher ideal is in wines showing finesse and elegance, and even expressing an airy idea of fragility.
All of this to be accepted as part of the greatest wines particularly if you wish to be seen as a refined connoisseur. Alas none of these attributes will be found in this Barossan which finesses badly with its many layers of flavour lingering on and on. Alcohol at 15%.
