Tasting Notes - Grove Estate Reserve Cabernet Sauvignon 2001

Austere nose but some blackberry and red fruits waft. Quite tight. In the mouth again a tight, controlled feel. This is no heavy weight, medium at best. Dances across the mouth with some subdued berry fruits and hints of dry tobacco notes. Finishes fairly firm with some grip and raspy tannins pulling at the throat a little. Hard to get a read on where the fruit is heading - just feels a bit too light right now - and I couldn't conclusively say it will win out against the structure over time.
