Penley Estate Phoenix Cabernet Sauvignon, Coonawarra, Australia

賓利酒莊鳳凰系列赤霞珠紅葡萄酒

點(diǎn)擊次數(shù)：20185

The 2000 Cabernet Sauvignon Phoenix's dense ruby color is accompanied by deep cassis fruit, and heady, full-bodied, powerful flavors that are typically Australian in their boldness and exuberance. Low acidity, ripe tannin, and a fleshy, succulent personality suggest consumption over the next 6-8 years is warranted. Importer: Rob McDonald, Old Bridge Cellars, Napa, CA; tel. (707) 258-9552

The entry is largely tomato and wet earth along with some spice. In the mouth, a bit of cherry and plum escapes, but still not enough to push the wine forward. While it seems solid and structured, what charms it has are mostly around the edges, meaning there isn’t adequate depth. ——M.S.(12/15/2002)—— 85
