Douglas Green Cabernet Sauvignon 2003

Colour: Medium depth ruby with a garnet rim
Nose: Rich fruitcake and sun ripened tomato aromas well supported by a complexity of black berries, tobacco, nuts, violets and spicy vanilla undertones.
Palate: Smooth, full-bodied entry with intense juicy black berry fruit flavours that are in perfect harmony with the well defined yet restrained tannins and seamless wood.
Overall: A medium to full-bodied wine with a pleasing structure allowing early accessibility yet potential to integrate further and develop further complexity within the next 2 to 5 years.

Grilled fillet, rump or sirloin with full flavoured pepper sauces, roasted red meat with gravy, oxtail, lamb shanks and matured full flavoured cheese.
