The 2005 Roennfeldt Road Cabernet Sauvignon is very deep garnet-purple colored, giving intense earthy aromas of damp hummus and iron ore over crushed black currants, ripe blueberries, Mediterranean herbs, cloves, cardamom, hung meat, charred planks and cedar. Medium-bodied, it’s very crisp and tight knit with firm fine tannins, layers of earth, cassis and savory flavors, and a very long finish. With decanting, readers could consider broaching this now, though ideally leave it another 3 years+ in bottle and enjoy from 2014 to 2024+.
