Winetastic

Majella have an excellent reputation and in an effort to expand the number of Cabernet based wines in our cellar, I picked up a bottle of Majella Coonawarra Cabernet Sauvignon 2005 to try - it was a good move.

Vibrant aromas of blackcurrant, liquorice, menthol and spices. The palate is led by powerful and juicy blackcurrant fruit, plenty of super fine tannin and a little lingering coffee on the finish. Its robust, well balanced and very long - excellent Cabernet and good value at around $30.

If you are a bit of a tannin fiend, this is a rather enjoyable drink-now proposition, however it should really blossom after another 5 or more years in the cellar.
