Country: Australia /
Variety: Cabernet Sauvignon South Australia
Winery: Aramis / McLaren Vale

Perhaps this wine just needs some additional cellaring, as the finish is long enough to suggest promise, but this particular bottle was in a cranky stage, showing lots of toasted oak and coffee-like aromas and tart acidity. The tannins seem ripe, so it’s worth trying again in a year or two.
