Plumpjack Estate Cabernet Sauvignon 2004, pt. II

Wow. What a difference a year makes. Maybe it was the glass, but the wine didn't show the same extreme dark fruits that the bottle last year showed. Thus, the dark fruits and notes of vanilla were not as prevalent. On the other hand, the wine was more well-rounded, and the tannins were not nearly as strong. A very enjoyable wine, which was easily consumed. Sadly, I don't think this was a wine that I would want to age. Three and a half out of five stars.
