Carlyle 2000 Cabernet. Sipping right now and enjoying it very much. At first, a very cedary nose and retro-nasal, but a little decanting it softens up. Creamy finish and very soft, smooth tannins. Not the fruit bomb, overly stewy style that Aussie wines are noted for, but rather, a focus on balance between fruit and structure. Some dill, mint and fennel flavours add interest. Really nice stuff for $14 canadian. From Victoria, Australia. They also have a Shiraz for the same price which I'll get around to trying, and an excellent Muscat for the same price. The muscat lacks a bit of complexity, but it has the raisiny flavours as well as all-spice, all wrapped up in a very thick, smooth texture. MMMMMMMMMM!
