1995 Greenock Creek Roennfeldt Road Cabernet - 99 pts! The 1995 Cabernet Sauvignon Roennfeldt Road is 100% Cabernet Sauvignon from 50-year old vines. The wine was aged three years in new French oak. It has soaked up the wood beautifully. This is an unctuous blockbuster opaque purple-colored wine with a classic nose of charcoal black currants cedar mineral and licorice. The wine has phenomenal intensity great purity a huge ripe yet balanced attack a multilayered mid-palate and an awesome finish. The mid-palate seems to have layers of fruit that just cascade over the palate with no hard edges. This is a terrific classic that can be approached now but ideally needs 3-4 years of cellaring.
