2009 Vasse Felix Cabernet Sauvignon


Wine: 2009 Vasse Felix Cabernet Sauvignon
Estate: Vasse Felix Wines

Region: Wilyabrup, Margaret River, South West Australia
Location: Drank at Eno Wine Bar on 2/19/2016

Tasting Note:

This wine was a deep garnet red. Loved the nose from the start. As some of you might know, we love a slightly stinky nose. It is not off putting to us at all. Nose started off dirty with a slight barnyard nose and moldy/smoked cheese. It developed into charred wood, smoke and a few vegetal notes such as green bell peppers. Heavy tannins (7/10), such a beautiful bite to it that we were not expecting. Solid acidity complemented the tannins and moderate plus body. Slightly savory on the palate with some light vegetal notes. Long and lingering dry finish. Would love to find some of this to buy. If this retailed for the price at Eno Wine Bar, it is still worth that, great QPR! Drink till 2027.
Rating: 93
Price: $$ - Purchases at Eno's Wine Bar for $67.00 but you can find the 2012 at Pearson's Wines for $39.99
