Saltram Mamre Brook Cabernet Sauvignon 2004 Opened 30/08/06

Instantly after opening (15 celcius) very closed on the nose and then dry dry oak and pepper on the palate. Even after 5 minutes in the glass strawberries are starting to poke through and the fruit is showing much more in the mouth but still very dry and loads of unbalanced oak to finish, turning the mouth into an old boot. I think this wine needs at least a year.
With Rare rib-eye fillet.
$16 (staff club)
rating 7/10
value 3/5
