Review Detail
2005 Balnaves of Coonawarra The Tally Reserve Cabernet Sauvignon
Wine Rating
95
Produced from the Dead Morris and Walker Vineyards the wine was fermented in barrel with some parcels having a long post ferment maceration prior to ageing in new French oak barrels from a range of producers for 20 months.
The nose is a ménage of dark berry fruits with subtle vanillin spice and aged leathery notes.
A wine at the peak of its powers with definition of blackberry fruit, but a seamless integration of earth and leather. dark berry fruits that is peppered with French oak spice and understated bay leaf . There is a flowing backbone of acidity that holds tension between primary fruit and aged characteristics
Touches of choc peppermint to finish with blackberry and old leather.
Could go a few more years but is in a great place right now.
