Adinfern Cabernet Sauvignon 2004

Quite a complex nose: tobacco leaf and tomato leaf, some herbal characters, olives and green capsicum. The palate showed red currants and cigar box, capsicum, fine tannins, a lovely savouriness and some fine linear acid too. But on the first night the finish was quite disappointing, with sour pips and a green bitterness. This wasn’t as noticeable with food, and fortunately these traits all disappeared on the second night - I am not sure how this can happen but it did. A classically dry wine that balances savoury and sweet very well.
