Tasting Notes - St Mary's Home Block Cabernet Sauvignon 2001

Serious nose; tobacco, a hint of leaf, a tinge musty. Very austere in the mouth, tannic, drying, furry, more musty notes (not corked). Shy of primary fruit and doesn't offer much immediate gratification. There are better options at the price and in the region. Bottle condition has a slight question mark given the musty notes. ($28)
