96pts James Suckling

A fascinating wine with dark berries, spice, sliced raw meat and minerals. Black berries. It changes all the time. Full body with spice, black pepper, blueberry, mushroom and walnut. Seaweed. Goes on for minutes.

Description

The 2009 Cain Five is a bold, structured, and elegant Bordeaux-style blend with a complex profile of dark fruit, earth, and spice notes. It has a full body, silky tannins, and a long finish, with some reviewers noting it is nearing its peak but still drinking well with sufficient time to open up. The wine has received high scores from both critics and the public.
