Re: Vinomofo secret wine deals
So my Glenlofty Cabernet turned up today and being the patient guy I am I cracked one this evening. Here are my first impressions. Deep red with a lightly perfumed but predominantly oaky nose. Medium bodied palate, some berries in the mix but with some seriously grippy, drying tannins. Would not be everyone's cup of tea with those tannins (pun intended). I think this wine needs time in the bottle and even then I wonder if the fruit will ever be enough to come to the fore, or if it will fade away before the tannins adequately soften. Lets see what a couple of hours open does to the wine.
