The Château Cabernet Sauvignon 2005

 

Tasting Notes
This stylish cabernet has a dark, deep colour and is a full bodied wine.

The typical cabernet sauvignon notes of berry and tobacco are integrated with characteristics of brier and supple, earthy forest notes. The palate has rich, ripe berry fruit and a firm acid character that holds the wine together with soft powdery tannins on the finish
