1995 Yarra Ridge Cabernet Sauvignon Reserve - Australia, Victoria, Port Phillip, Yarra Valley (6/2/2007)
Bought from auction (to be honest mostly for the other 3 bottles in the lot).
Still strong depth to the colour which still has a remarkably youthful purple hue, albeit with bricking at the rim. Nose is pretty typical Cabernet with pleasant mintiness/leafiness, still quite rich blackcurrant and oak in the background. It hangs together in a classy manner.
On the palate it's medium bodied, with good length and really well judged acidity giving refreshment. The mintiness is perhaps more noticeable on the palate than the nose. I like it, but if you don't like this facet in a wine, then this would be one to skip. Nothing much in the way of tannins now.
All in all a very enjoyable and restrained wine. It should drink well for a good few years yet, though for some it would be fully mature already.
