Parker Coonawarra Estate 05 'Terra Rossa' Cabernet Sauvignon

Drinking this wine in 2012 was pure infacide. Just starting to develop the creaminess of medium term age. Primary fruit character's not even a mention just yet. The 'Terra Rossa' reminded me of a fresh blueberry compote, draped over cream whipped straight from the bowl. A sandy texture barely permissible as the tannins evolve into some semblance of solidity. Truly a wine of decadence with 10-15 years well ahead. Do yourself a favour, hide this wine deep in your cellar for a well kept surprise later.
