Grape : Cabernet Sauvignon
Country of Origin : (South) Australia
Region : Barossa Valley
Vintage : 2003
Producer : Rusden
Alcoholic Content : 14%
Damage to my purse : About S$42 each for a case of 6.
Characteristic :
Ruby-red and medium bodied. Of pronounced aroma of cassis on the nose, and of slight spicy sharpness that triggered the senses. On the palate, it was like a jammy fruit bomb, with picking up notes of cedar, almond, and oak. Lovely texture, of velvety smooth tannins, balanced acidity, and good length.
MY TAKE : A very good bottle of Cabernet Sauvignon (I haven’t drunk for a long time), and of great value too.
