Penfolds South Australia "Max's" 2014 Cabernet Sauvignon, $16.99-$23.99, 90 points, poured basically black bearing dense glass drapes and a broad clear wine ring.
Aromatic blackberry liqueur with a hint of juniper and a soft floral vibe were good.
Full-bodied with bright acidity and firm, fine, and favorable tannins supported a delicious package of aroma mirrored flavors nuanced with coffee, tobacco, and plum notes.
Finished long on easy warm spice, a hint of pomegranate, and a potent 14.5% alcohol.
Like the MAX'S Shiraz/Cabernet, the bottle is sheathed in this red-skin of a marketing package, but the wine inside here is considerably better (JMO).
