Waterford Auction Reserve 2003
In search of the best expression of the Waterford Estate vineyards – Cabernet Sauvignon, Mourvedre, Merlot, Cabernet Franc, Petit Verdot and Malbec were used in this assemblage. Aged in new and used 225 litre French oak barriques for 14 months. Egg white fined and bottled especially for the CWG Auction. 100 cases of this wine were sold at the 2004 Auction. Tasting Note: Beautiful, deep ruby colour. Aromas of ripe plums combined with nuances of tobacco and white pepper. Layered flavours of liquorice and dry lavender, followed by lovely lengthy dry tannins. Refined length on finish.
