Tasting Notes - Glenmore Cabernet Sauvignon 2001 (Recommended)

Glenmore is the personal venture of long time Mosswood viticulturist / winemaker Ian Bell. Followers of Ian's employer will recognise the Glenmore name from the single vineyard release under Mosswood.There's a lot of good 2001 MR cab around at the moment and we'll have to add this drop to the list. Friendly nose with sweet approachable berry fruits. Follows up very well on the palate; more easy going berry fruit. Tannin and oak is well contained but the soft structure might put a question mark over longer term cellaring. At the very least an excellent drink now proposition but can't recommend on QPR grounds given the competition in the sub $40 bracket.
