Benefactor Cellars (Australia, 2010)

Category: Cabernet Sauvignon — Eddie @ 8:15 pm

	This wine had a huge special display at Traders Joe’s so we grabbed it as we walked by. It had a really cool label and we figured that with the price being so good and the label being so cool we would give it a shot. The wine is very harsh out of the bottle so we decanted it in order to see if we noticed any difference.
	$5 from Trader Joe’s

Harsh aromas of alcohol to the point that it burns your nose Very acidic at first A slight tart aroma similar to green apple Decanting opens up the aromas and we are getting hints of berries A bit of prune and strawberry on the finish High tannins and MUST BE DECANTED!!!!!! *Harsh and cruel like death at a young age… just like the age of this wine. You would be better off hoping that your benefactor left you a six pack!*
