Deep garnet colored with a touch of brick, the 2005 Coleraine Cabernet / Merlot has notes of ripe cassis / black currant cordial, fruit cake, leather, sandalwood, fenugreek and Provence herbs with touches of menthol and mulberries. Ripe and rich with firm tannins and a good amount of fruit, it has crisp acidity and a long finish with some savory chocolate coming through. Delicious now, it should continue to drink to 2017+.
