Tasting Notes - Dalwhinnie Cabernet Sauvignon 1999

Good colour for the age; dark blood red with no lightening at the rim. Aged characters very evident on the nose; daggy old berries and varnishy wood. Aromas are surprisingly lifted yet they 'look' at least 8 years old. Palate flavours are quite subdued as the fruit has largely fallen away. Faint, mushy berries remain with a doft herbal / minty edge. Balanced tannin structure remains. Would have looked better 2 - 3 years ago.
