2004 MadFish Premium Red Reviews

“A blend of Cabernet Sauvignon (61%) Merlot (30%) and Cabernet Franc (9%). An intense, lightly tannic palate ? savoury rich with a touch of sweet-fruit. A touch of strawberry on first sipping but this subsides into a black-fruit intensity enlivened with a red-berry sharpness and touches of cherry, plum and chocolate notes. Juicy finish. Matched with a delicious lamb dish beautifully. Alcohol 14.5%.”

“The MadFish brand has always stood for good value, and this blend of cabernet sauvignon and merlot is a bold, straightforward but generously flavoured red that pleases. There?s not much presence of oak or tannin ? just nice, ripe, cabernet-style fruit character. Again, it has bold, obvious flavour in the mouth and not much suggestion of oak-barrel maturation.”

“This is a cabernet merlot blend from Western Australia. It is really good drinking. A blackish purple crimson, it is alluring, intense and vibrant. Lots of blackcurrants, black olives, plums on the nose with hints of dried herbs and liquorice. Some smoky oak nuances accompany the distinct, concentrated and persistent fruit characters really well. The smooth velvety tannins make for a well rounded finish and provide a lingering length.Drink 2006-2011.”
