  The other notes on this wine are pretty fair commentary, even though I don't agree with them all; I think we are all taking an objective approach and there is space there for different interpretations of the same basic material.
  
  I felt like going old school Oz today, so it was a 2011 Tahbilk Marsanne and this wine with luncheon, which perhaps should have been cooked by Curry and Rice, with Albert the Pudding in attendance to make some trenchant observations.
  
  This is a lovely traditional Australian Cabernet. I would have liked a little more elegance and regionality, but this was a year that got away a bit on some makers, as the 14% ABV indicates. The wine is not overly alcoholic smelling or tasting, but the ripeness from whence the booze springs is a strong feature.
  
  Under screw cap this can be cellared for some time yet, but I am not sure why you would do this. George is now a contented fellow, as well integrated as he will get, yet still with some pleasing vigour.

  Still feels young. Worth holding for a while if you have the patience

  Decanted 2hrs and drank over the next 2hrs. Good Coonawarra characteristics without the wow factor. No rush to drink ... will try again in 3 -5 yrs.

  Appearance: clear deep ruby.
  Nose: clean medium plus intensity. Aromas of red rose, dill, nutmeg, blackberry, leather, tomato leaf, black olive, black pepper, eucalyptus, chocolate, black plum, licorice, balsamic, toast, very perfumed and floral. It's developing.
  Palate: dry, high acidity, medium plus tannins (fine-grain), high alcohol, full body, pronounced flavour intensity. Flavours aligns with nose. The finish is medium plus (a little shame).
  Overall, this is a very good wine, and definitely strong candidate for outstanding wine should the finish be a touch longer. It's perfectly balanced between the fruit flavour and the alcohol (doesn't feel like 14% high). The wine is structural yet elegant and really complex. The fruit intensity is very impressive and clearly defined. Can drink now, but has potential for further ageing. I wish I have another bottle...

  Clear deep garnet colour.
  Clean medium nose of blackcurrant, mint, burnt toast, chocolate and vanilla.
  Dry, medium+ acid, medium- tannin, full body palate with mint chocolate, tobacco, blackcurrant and a long finish.
  Very good quality coonawarra cabernet.
