Parker Coonawarra Estate Terra Rossa 1992

An elegant Bordeaux style Australian cabernet with only 12.8% alcohol. Quite acidic but a beautiful nose of floral tobacco and a slightly smoky green vegetable palate. The wine improved after an hour or so or aeration and cut through a rich and fragrant coq au vin with ease. It still retained a bit of fruit and aftertaste.
