Mountain Ridge Western Cape Cabernet Sauvignon Reserve 2010 82 Points
Bright, garnet with brown rim, showing premature development.
Clean, moderate intensity, Cabernet austerity evident, blackcurrant jam, old barrel influence, alcohol noticeable.
Dry with dash of residual sugar, plush tannins, low acidity, fresh, juicy, quite elegant with lead pencil complexity, graphite on texture, irresponsible alcohol level though, very very high at 15% abv, a meal in itself!
