Not the best showing with spices cinn,amon, oak, plum and cherry. Simple wine overall.

I believe this one was definitely past its prime. Nose was actually pleasant with lots of tobacco and dust, but it was very astringent. Drank ok with some pasta but not very good by itself.

2002 vintage

Aromas of cherry, vanilla, spiced oak, and a little earth. This is holding up pretty well at age nine. I first had this 3-4 years ago. Dark fruit and earth on the palate. Well balanced. Dare I say Bordeaux like. Dry gripping tannins. Drink now or over next 3 years.

Dark chocolate, toasty oak, tobacco, and a plum/cherry aromas combine for a nice bouquet. The plum flavor really comes through with the cherry finishing it off. Full bodied wine, with a very soft, velvety mouth feel. ($13)

Drank a bottle last year and thought it was very thin. Opened this one and it was very light but, slightly harsh on first taste, but then finished out nicely.

2002 vintage

I found the herbal characteristics a bit detracting. Moderately tannic and overall a nice wine with great structure as this was tasting great after being open 5 days.

2002 vintage

Strong cherry, tobacco and caramel. Hints of plum. May be passing it's prime?

2002 vintage

Good wine - I agree with other comments that its near end of its prime drinking timeframe. Had body but flavour was weaker than I expected. Not bad for the money

2002 vintage

Not too bad for the price but not spectacular

2002 vintage

Almost feels a bit past it's prime, all tannin no fruit at this point - Black, full bodied with notes of mint, leather, tobacco, plum and vanillla on the nose, strong tannic backbone, a touch off balance with the muted fruit, dry on the palate with medium length (87 Points).

This is my second bottle and the notes are similar to the first. A bit of bell peppers, earth and cassis on the nose with a backdrop of pepper, the vegital blew off after about a half-hour and the fruit came through along with a floral element, the nose is really complex with a lot of nice flavors going around. On the palate black currant and hint of chocolate & oak, tight tannins and a farily smooth finish with the …

Had this a few days ago. Very plush wine, with lots of fruit and a velvety, medium-bodied palate. Black fruits, tar and black licirice the main flavours I can remember. Got on sale, so nice QPR here (B+).

2002 vintage

Don't be afraid of the screw off lid... very good full bodied wine with hints of tobacco

2002 vintage

taste and smell both above average

2002 vintage

Inky color, heavy body with long legs. Aromas of chocolate, mint, anise; echo of the chocolate on the palate, with big mouthfeel, gobs of red fruit, tar, and black licorice. Tannins still a bit harsh; this could have been better with a few more years in the bottle. Overall an interestingly put together wine, particularly for the price. Would buy again.

2002 vintage

very dark, rather tarry and burned. seemed like fruits on the browned side have married well with dark toasted oak to give it this character. rough for food pairing, but didn't drink too badly if one's in the mood for a dark chewey sort of cab.

2002 vintage

Consumed over three hours with roasted leg of lamb. Very green profile--this really suprised me, I'm not a big fan of vegital flavors in my wine but still the wine was enjoyable. Overall: med body, med finish, moderate fruit, fairly well integrated but still has 5 or so years left in it easy--average QPR.

2002 vintage

dunkle beeren, bleibt lang am gaumen. trocken und gutes tanin

2002 vintage

This wine definitely changes over the 3 hours in which we consumed it. Started with a bit of funk, then smoothed out nicely. After 2 hours the oak came out. A bit too much oak. Overall decent wine with good structure, just a bit too woody for me.

2002 vintage

Very tasty for an inexpensive red. Classic flavors of smoke, currant, black cherry and a touch of pepper. Mellow and easy to drink. Went just fine with corned beef and cabbage.

2002 vintage

so cheap...so good! can't wait to buy more!

2002 vintage

VERY GOOD Very vegital on the nose and on the palate. Green pepper all over the place. Medium Finish

2002 vintage

Drank over 2 nights. First night: Nose full of pepper, oak, and slight licorice. Medium acidity with light tannins but fairly tight and peppery/oaky. 2nd night the wine opened up with more fruit with underlying pepper/oak. Finish was longer than the 1st night with some vanilla.

2002 vintage

Typical Aussie upscale value Cab. Lots of fruit with noticable oak. Nice acidity, but didn't really shine with food. Disjointed first night. Re-corked and bit better the second night. Had a bit higher expectation due to decent WS score.

2002 vintage

Medium Body - Little follow thru - $15.99 - My Rating 88 Points - Not a particularly good value

2002 vintage

Tasted at Wolf Blass Cellar Door: Deep red in apperance this Coonawarra Cab Sav has aromas of capsicum. Tasting reveals lots of tannin and acidity which begins to become smoother when agitated. Aged in French and American Oak.

CK LOVED IT, NO STRONG AFTERTASTE
