Rosenvale Barossa Valley Australia Cabernet Sauvignon 2003

85/100 45

Strong ripe red with blackcurrant, vanilla, liquorice and chocolate flavours and a hint of mint. It’s wrapped in a warming overcoat of sweet oak. A styler that reflects the warm growing conditions in the Barossa rather than varietal characters. Good value at this price.

Tasted: Jul 2007    Average price: NZD $20 (~USD $17)
