Michael Twelftree can turn a trick or two with Cabernet Sauvignon, as evidenced by one of the finest Cabernets I have ever tasted from Australia, the 2003 Cabernet Sauvignon Aphrodite. This amazing 100% Cabernet tasted even better from bottle than it did last year from barrel. Aged in 100% new Taransaud wood, it boasts an extraordinary perfume of black currants, melted licorice, blueberries, cigar smoke, and espresso roast. A superb texture, fabulous concentration, sweet, melted tannin, and a finish that lasts for nearly a minute will cause Cabernet lovers to go bonkers. Still young and primary, it will be even better with 2-3 years of bottle age, and should age for two decades or more.
This brilliant operation is a credit to the meticulous winemaking of Michael Twelftree and his staff!
