La Motte Western Cape Cabernet Sauvignon Shiraz Woolworths Reserve 2009 86 Points


Clear, bright, ruby red with cherry rim, medium plus concentration and high viscosity, no gas or sediment.

Clean, dark plums, blackcurrant, cassis, peppery, slight herbaceous note, complex earthy character, spicy oak, with notes of cedar wood, surprisingly quite “Old World” in it’s aromatic definition.

Dry, with medium plus acidity, medium plus tannin, high alcohol, spicy dark plum note follows through, textured mid palate with grainy tannins, medium plus length and medium plus complexity, now until 2018
