2004
Clinet
A relatively clear garnet appearance with a good depth of colour and no signs of aging. Smells of caramel, spice, young berry fruits, coffee creamer and minerals. On the palate blackberries, creamy notes, caramel, brown sugar, winter spice, light cedar and licorice. As expected this is still vibrant with a good balance. Both acid and tannin are very much present and this has an excellent fat, touchy feely character. Long flavoured, big and very chasismatic. Still young so bags of potential. Very excellent.
2003
Berliquet
Deep ruby / claret appearance. Blackcurrant, bubblegum, sherbet, creamy notes with spice and mahogany. The tastes were red cherry, red currant, spice box, with tropical fruits most specifically pineapple and banana. This was a well balanced wine if initially leading towards an acidic nature. It was reasonably long lengthed, medium bodied with a permanent way about it. Excellent.
2006
Graves du Bert
Dark cherry colour, opaque but still light in appearance. The nose was mainly berry fruits and either closed or limited in scope. Flavours of blackcurrant and spice. A smooth bodied wine typical of a everyday French merlot.
2006
Kilikanoon - Cabernet Sauvignon Killerman's Run
Deep blackcurrant colour and a bright young appearance. On the nose, blackcurrant, black cherry, sherry trifle and cedar. Mimicking the nose, tastes of jamy blackcurrant and cherry, orange citrus, light cinnamon and pepper. A full bodied and very well balanced wine with a long length. Full flavoured with enough structure to see some improvement.
2002
Soutard
The appearance was a little thin with a clear ruby colour and a little aging. The nose had cherry, garam masala, Indian spices, red berry / currant and rhubarb and custard. The flavours were predominately red cherry / berry and plum and cranberry. Also, cedar, tobacco and just a little mustiness. This was a somewhat light bodied wine although still with a slight tackiness and a medium length.
