Note di degustazione
Inky plum colour, chocolate, deep blackberry, very much brambled fruit, edges of black chocolate, savoury and vibrant, a ton of clove and grilled rosemary spice, with campfire, turmeric. Tight and muscular, the tannins need to resolve, and this is less pristine than some, but has balance and you can feel confident that there is a storming wine here that will suit long ageing. 69% Coonawarra fruit. 100% new American oak, John Duval chief winemaker.

The 1999 Cabernet Sauvignon Bin 707's dense ruby/purple color is followed by a tight but promising nose of black currants, leather, and licorice. In the mouth, there are abundant quantities of black currant fruit as well as hints of creosote, earth, truffles, and subtle oak. The acidity is high, much of it probably added, which is unfortunate as the raw materials look impressive. The high acidity compresses the palate and pinches the finish. Nevertheless, this is a very good Cabernet that should drink well for 10-12 years. Importer: Southcorp Wines, The Americas, Napa, CA; tel. (707) 258-8755
