Attollo Cabernet Sauvignon 2010
First of 3 Aussie Cabernets tasted together, single-blind (so wines known but identities masked). Notes pretty much as taken.
Tomato leaf, bay, rustic herbal/ bushy notes. Speaking to me of Margaret River with a little capsicum thrown in. Over time shows integrated chocolate and cedary notes, with the background leafiness a consistent theme.
Medium-to-full bodied, peppery-spice with mulberry and plum against some tobacco notes. Tannin is firm, emery-board grain with excellent persistence of flavour if a little mono-dimensional at this early juncture. Good structure, will age well.
100% Organic, unfined, unfiltered with a natural ferment. Contains 10% 2011 Cabernet Franc. 91+ - Very Good
