2006 Cain "Five" Spring Mountain District Bordeaux Blend

Dark purplish crimson. Appealing juicy fruit with a little overlay of walnuts on the nose. Some personality and a fruity core. Quite dusty and full blooded with slightly rustic tannins. Distinctive! I like the fact that the winemaker has not been afraid of tannin. Quite burly rather than super smooth. Out of the mould ‰ÛÒ so therefore mountain fruit..? I just wonder whether the fruit won‰۪t fade a little bit too early for the tannins? Dry finish. But this is serious artisanal wine. (JR)
