The 1996 Cabernet Sauvignon is a sumptuous, thick, oaky wine with an opaque ruby/purple color, and a sweet, vanillin-scented nose with aromas of overripe black currants and licorice. With low acidity and a plump, fleshy mouth-feel, this heady, succulent Cabernet Sauvignon should be drunk over the next 7-8 years. Elderton's wines are not for tasters seeking subtlety and elegance. This is an outrageously oaky, flamboyantly-styled offering with immense hedonistic appeal.Imported by The Australian Premium Wine Collection, John Larchet, USA Wine West LLC, San Rafael, CA; tel.
