Waterford Estate Cabernet Sauvignon Stellenbosch 2004

Deep red.

Lifted, fresh red pepper herbaceous note, blackcurrant underneath. Smoked sausage nuance too.

Round and slightly sweet in the mouth, expansive. Strong acidity intrudes a bit in the finish. A "mineral" and smoked sausage also. It would be interesting to know what cooperage is used here.

Interesting.

Day 4 - Everything integrated now. Toasted nut, herbs, blackcurrant - this smells like Bordeaux (w/o a slathering of toasty new oak). Middle-weight feel, tight in the mid-palate, but flavor sails through. Two tracks. Has years of good drinking ahead of it.

Killer deal - buy it.
