Tasting Notes - The Blok Cabernet Sauvignon 2000 (Recommended)

Small producer based in the Coonawarra. Peppery, herbally nose. Lots of interest and quite intense. No green unripe notes. More pipper and spice in the mouth along with berry fruits. Almost like a good cool climate shiraz (in the best possible sense). Very good mouthfeel - quite balanced and hits all corners of the mouth. Finishes quite long, driven by some noticable tannin. Could do with another year or two in the cellar. Good effort, and a much better showing than a number of previous tastes over the past 12 months.
