I have a bit of experience with Katnook. Big, dark and brooding cabernet usually so I gave this a good day and a bit to reveal itself. It certainly needed it and I think the screwcap often means that some wines look a bit more backwards than they would under cork..although no question of this being a very appropriate closure for cellar worthy red wines. I have no doubt about it. Onya Katnook!
Aromas of cassis, blackberry, camphor, dark mint chocolate, nutmeg and spice backed with coffee bean and vanilla oak. Big and rich. On the palate full bodied. No mucking about here. It has flavours of rich blackberry, cassis, dark chocolate and again that attractive coffee vanilla bean oak. Plenty of ripe mouthcoating fine grained tannin and a sustained savoury blackberry and coffee finish. A monster cabernet that requires patience. Just remember that it is a virtue and something else I can’t quite remember about good things coming… Rated : 94+ Points Price : $47 Drink : 2011 - 2022 Gary Walsh, Winorama
