1999 Whels Mount Benson Cabernet Sauvignon

Extra fine tannin structure with light tobacco and sweet cedar. Mushroom/undergrowth comes through after an hour in the decanter. Crushed plum on the nose and palatte- slightly tart red forest berries finish in the mouth. A very supple, and elegant examplle of how goood Mt Benson/Robe can be for this varietal. Deep, solid purple to the rim, and excellent drying tannins on the aftertaste. Great integration- nose to palatte to chase- all are one, no surprises, but slight nuances. Purchased in 2002 for around $20. 85 points.
