Displaying a similar color as well as personality and depth, the 2001 Cabernet Sauvignon Ashmead exhibits a more scorched/roasted character to its nose, sweeter, more pliable and open-knit flavors, and nearly as much aging potential as the cooler vintage conditions produced in 2002. A beautiful, full-throttle, gutsy Cabernet Sauvignon, it can be drunk now and over the next 10-12 years. Imported by USA Wine West, San Rafael, CA; tel. (800) 485-5753 for John Larchet, The Australian Premium Wine Collection.

Has an earthy, tree-bark aroma on the nose, followed on the palate by red plums, with a few cranberries and cherries thrown in. Wooly-textured, and layered, but approachable enough to enjoy with dinner. ——D.T.(10/1/2006)—— 88
