Frankland Estate Western Australia Cabernet Sauvignon 2021
95 POINTS: Halliday Wine Companion 2024 93 POINTS: James Suckling
"While Hunter Smith talks about elegance as much as power as important attributes of this wine, it's also one that reflects where it comes from – and no denying this achieves all that and more. Cassis and mulberries, squid ink and bay leaves, astonishing tannins – superfine yet with tensile strength and vibrancy throughout. Gorgeous now and will unfurl gracefully in time." - 95 Points: Halliday Wine Companion 2024
“A solid red with blackcurrants, walnut, crushed stone, and fresh bay leaf. Medium to full body. Polished yet juicy tannins and a flavorful finish. Drink now.” - 93 Points, James Suckling
The wine looks like one I shall enjoy and boast of once having consumed it.I intend sharing this splendid red with our son over Christmas - happy to furnish you with a tasting review then and , hopefully, purchase a few more bottles.
Took a punt on the 2011 Kairos Sauvignon Blanc & was pleasantly surprised at the drinkability of aged Sauv, I do not usually drink Sauvignon Blanc's but after drinking the Kairos I will drink more.
A little bit of pungency evident upon opening and best to let it breath for 30 minutes or so and the pungency dissipated and then the wine started to show its best - good fruit, vanilla/oak, balance and elegance!
