CAPE MENTELLE Cabernet Sauvignon 1987

Opened the day before the Mount Mary Quintet. A very different proposition.

Quite purple showing some age, definitive cabernet nose plummy blackcurrant fruit with an herbal green bean edge. The palate is quite rich, with flavours that reflect the nose. The wine finishes clean with gentle drying tannins. It will probably hold for a year or three.
