Clairault Estate Cabernet Sauvignon 2004 Thursday, Dec 20 2007
Tasting Notes and Australia and Margaret River and Variety and Red and cabernet et al
All this shiraz drinking of late put me in a right old mood. A mood for Cabernet. And the best Australian cabernet is Margaret. Arguably anyway..although I don’t really want an argument.
Rich and floral but also slightly curranty with cassis, chocolate, eucalypt, wet earth and vanilla oak. On the palate full bodied with cassis, chocolate, black olive and eucalypt flavours backed with perfumed vanilla oak. Rich but quite dry. It has firm gravelly tannins and plenty of flavour and impact in the mouth. It freshened up and looked better after being open for a day too. Big, bold and beautiful.
