2004 Noon Winery Reserve Cabernet Sauvignon 750ml

Critic tasting note: "The wine now bears a South Australia appellation because the fruit is coming from Langhorne Creek. This vintage clocks in atalcohol, with nutmeg and blackberry aromas. Blackberry fruit is encased in a pretty dark, char-barrel shell at this early stage; tannins are woody and textured. Optimal enjoyment likely 2008–2010." - 90/100, Wine Enthusiast "The winery is in McLaren Vale, but the fruit for the Reserve bottlings are sourced from a grower in Langhorne Creek. Noon's 2014 Cabernet Sauvignon Reserve offers plenty of mint (some might call it eucalypt) on the nose but also layers of super ripe cassis fruit and subtle cedary notes. It's full-bodied without being overblown, showing hallmark Cabernet restraint despite the ample richness and weight. The tannins leave a plush, velvety impression on the palate, giving a savory edge and a degree of elegance to the lingering finish." - Joe Czerwinski Enthusiast  "Light to medium red in colour, with a brick hue. Very attractive to smell, with red berries and cedar predominant, along with blackcurrants, nougat, sweet forest floor and truffles. Soft in texture, with a lovely balance and finesse. Hard to resist for drinking now or can be cellared through until 2022+ (may be surprisingly long lived for such an approachable young wine thanks to the excellent balance and the screw cap seal).
