| Community Tasting Notes (average 90 pts. and median of 90 pts. in 3 notes) - hiding notes with no text | | | Tasted by RoscoPurvisColtrane on 5/8/2022 & rated 90 points: From the golden age of this label, the ‘88 is still in good shape. Blackcurrant fruit with tea leaf, cedar wood and vanilla elements, this St George is delicious. It presents like a ‘98 rather than an ‘88. Very impressive. An easy, long, balanced wine. Perhaps the sweetness is fading? Drink up, but enjoy every moment of this tobacco-like delight.

Has lasted way beyond its years (387 views) | | | Tasted by chatters on 12/3/2016: Coravin fun - Ivan's oldies (Jo & Ivan's, Marrickville): From Coravin. On the nose it's leathery with tilled earth, cream, sweet spice...with agitation it shows some blackcurrant. It's tart and tannic on the palate. Bit short. hmm. Again, I'm hoping that time in the decanter might get some fruit. But it's quite dried out. (1687 views) |

Producer websiteCabernet SauvignonCabernet Sauvignon is probably the most famous red wine grape variety on Earth. It is rivaled in this regard only by its Bordeaux stablemate Merlot, and its opposite number in Burgundy, Pinot Noir. From its origins in Bordeaux, Cabernet has successfully spread to almost every winegrowing country in the world. It is now the key grape variety in many first-rate New World wine regions, most notably Napa Valley, Coonawarra and Maipo Valley. Wherever they come from, Cabernet Sauvignon wines always seem to demonstrate a handful of common character traits: deep color, good tannin structure, moderate acidity and aromas of blackcurrant, tomato leaf, dark spices and cedarwood.
Used as frequently in blends as in varietal wines, Cabernet Sauvignon has a large number of common blending partners. Apart from the obvious Merlot and Cabernet Franc, the most prevalent of these are Malbec, Petit Verdot and Carmenere (the ingredients of a classic Bordeaux Blend), Shiraz (in Australia's favorite blend) and in Spain and South America, a Cabernet – Tempranillo blend is now commonplace. Even the bold Tannat-based wines of Madiran are now generally softened with Cabernet SauvignonAustralia Wine Australia (Australian Wine and Brandy Corporation) | Australian Wines (Wikipedia)South Australia South Australian Wine Industry Association | South Australian Wines (Wikipedia)Limestone Coast Limestone CoastCoonawarra Coonawarra |
