Parker Terra Rossa First Growth Cabernet Sauvignon 1998
This exceptional wine from the Parker Coonawarra Estate Vineyards is made from the finest grapes grown in the famed Terra Rossa soils on the limestones of Coonawarra. Only the highest standards of wine making practices have been employed, using the classic variety of Cabernet Sauvignon, Cabernet Franc and Merlot, to produce a wine of excellent quality, style and definition.
This vintage is limited to 4,000 cases and matured in new French and American small oak casks.
It's perhaps a shade more alcoholic than truly perfect, but there's truly remarkable depth of flavour in this plush, smooth and truly long-term wine. Simply extraordinary in its concentration and pungency of almost wild, exotic fruit, it's deep, alluring and powerful, but finely balanced with smoky mocha/cedar oak. - Jeremy Oliver, Onwine
