Tasting Notes - Fermoy Estate Cabernet Sauvignon 2000

Serious, oaky cab from Margaret River. Not cheap at $39ish but certainly imparts a feeling that the wine plays fairly at this price point. Nose is slightly gamey and has some toasty oak notes. Palate is quite tight right now and seems young at 5 years. Spicy oak dominates a but right now and the wine needs a few years to show it's best....but I have a little question mark over the fruit power. Will it last the distance? Classy tannins drive a longish finish.
