[SOLD-OUT] Giaconda Cabernet 2004

"Totally classic Cabernet. Nose has powerful notes of cedar with hints of Cabernet leaf - though not at all in the green spectrum. Very tight structure with gripping tannin is a feature of the palate. This is a real thoroughbred - long and composed. Although it will be somewhat approachable when young due to its impeccable balance, this one will easily go the long haul."
Rick Kinzbrunner, Giaconda Winemaker.

Jeremy Oliver Rating 95!
"Smooth and seamless, this finely crafted cabernet has a lightly herbal aroma that opens with nuances of dried herbs and snap pea, but gradually reveals a greater volume of cassis, blackberries and sweet cedar/vanilla oak. Tightly knit around a firm spine of dusty, drying tannin, it's lightly jammy, with intense small berry fruit backed by undertones of mint and dried herbs. Beautifully focused, it's reminiscent of the delightful 1991 vintage, although the oak and tannin are better this time. Drink 2016-2024+."
