2000 Lindeman's Cabernet Sauvignon St. George
Community Tasting Note

Sunday, March 29, 2009 - Deep ruby/garnet core with medium garnet rim. Heavy deposit in the bottle. Unbelievable flavours! As soon as I decanted the wine, it just filled the whole room. Pronounced animal and vegetal character - leather, wet wool, tobacco, wet leaves - combined with ripeness notes - like jam, some caramel. The fruit flavours are also still there in the background - mostly black fruit, but almost gone, since Nose is very developed. Flavours reveal the same indications combined with sweet dried fruit aftertaste which was very long. Medium body, medium acidity, low and very ripe tannins. I am even sorry to have tasted this wine with smoked sausages, which actually worked very well with it. What a great find! It's a great mature Coonawarra, in line with a 3rd growth for sure, but for a fraction of the price. Strongly reccomended. If only I had more of these St. Georges - apparently it's a 12ha single vineyard from Coonawarra. Cheers!

Fabulous Wine , drinking at its peak now but very little bricking on the edges
