Parker Coonawarra Estate Terra Rossa First Growth Coonawarra 2001

The wine is still dark with just a little bricking on the rim. Complex nose of black berries, spices, smoke, cedar wood, very expressive but balanced. Mouth coating on the palate, it’s silky and velvety. Long and savoury finish with a refreshing acidity.  The wine feels ready even if it could have last at least an another 5 years in the cellar as there is lot’s of life and power left in it. It was a really beautiful wine! Excellent+ (92)

Made of 86% Cabernet-Sauvignon and 14% Merlot. Aged 20 months in new French oak barrels. Alcohol level of 14%

I bought this bottle many years ago at the LCBO, the alcohol monopoly from Ontario. Does not seems that this wine is still available around there nor in Québec
