Bowen Estate Cabernet Sauvignon 1991

Bowen Estate Cabernet Sauvignon 1991"The wines are packed with ripe fruit and oaky, earthy characters, yet they float across the palate with elegance and finesse. By the end of the tasting (19 vintages of Bowen Cabernet!) there was no doubt just how good the Bowen Cabernet is and how well it ages. There wasn't really a dud amongst the whole lot, so it not surprising that Bowen Estate is regularly listed as one of this country's top cabernets." Divine Magazine, Vertical Tasting 1979 1998

it was classy and unmistakably Coonawarra Cabernet Sauvignon

you think of trees and undergrowth

The bouquet is fresh and vibrant with especially good fruit-oak balance and the oak is not dominant on the bouquet - as it has been so often in the past

Gold Medal - Hobart Class 59

yet eminently age-worthy Shiraz

As a result of a replanting programme and grafting of some older vines to Shiraz

profoundly beautiful thing

Crossroads Vineyard is the youngest site

Drink: 2013-2032

It's all here: black fruits of every kind

the wine is fined and sent to bottle

is really exciting
