FOX CREEK RESERVE CABERNET SAUVIGNON 1999

We picked this wine up while on holiday in South Australia a number of years ago. Tasting the range at the cellar door was very pleasant, so pleasant, we nearly didn't make it to the Kangaroo Island ferry terminal in time.

Showing a deep ruby complexion with a little browning, the nose is quite closed, not much happening at all. On the palate there is some plummy ripe cabernet fruit however it lacks the generosity I had expected. Overall a disappointing wine.

Tasted: May 2008
Source: Cellar Door
Price: $38 (2002)
Points: 88
