Tapanappa Cabernet Shiraz 2004

Tapanappa Whalebone Cabernet Shiraz 2004

Just a short note on this one. A blend of 70% Cabernet Sauvignon, 20% Shiraz and 10% Cabernet Franc from the Whalebone Vineyard in Wrattonbully. On the nose, milk chocolate, blackcurrants, mulberries, iodine and a touch of tomato leaf and smokiness. The palate is nicely tannined and pleasantly textured, showing red and black fruits with dusty spices, a creamy mouthfeel and a leafy edge. Lovely balance, and very easy drinking indeed. Sealed under cork. About $70 on release I think. 14.5% abv. Drink 2010-2017. 93 points
