Wolf Blass Cabernet Sauvignon Presidents Selection 2001

Nose: Chocolate/mint and plummy character. Color: Dark, rich red. Palate: Rich with exceptional depth of fruit, and the finish is soft and rounded. The wine is an excellent example of beautiful fruit and new oak barrel fermentation. Food Suggestions: Roasted venison, full-flavored meat and game dishes. Serving Temperature: Room temperature. Cellaring: 5-15 years

A whole mouthful of deep rich fruit in every sip. Smoothly rich, blackberries, cherries, and even blueberries fight for a place on the palette, with woody tanins providing the structure to make this a truly spectacular wine.

Jeremy Oliver 92 points!
"A ripe minty aroma of small berry conserve and lightly smoky, fragrant vanilla oak reveals typically Langhorne Creek menthol and eucalypt-like regional complexity. Full to medium in weight, this uncomplicated but generous and lively cabernet offers a long and almost searing palate of intense cassis, raspberries and plums. Its oak is sweet and its tannins fine-grained and slightly drying. Drink 2006-2009."

Intense, aromatic and concentrated, with ripe black cherry and currant fruit laced with sweet vanilla, nutmeg and toasty oak. Long, lipsmacking finish. Excellent value. Ready to drink now and over the next five or six years.

Rating: 4/5 - As reviewed by Decanter Muted cedar, berry and herbaceous nose. Firm, inky tannins and good acidity. The fruit displays complexity - cassis, cedar, bramble and spice. Drink 2-5 years.
