d'Arenberg The Coppermine Road Cabernet Sauvignon 2002 1.5L

Winery Review
Professional Reviews

The nose shows intense blackcurrant and cranberry fruit, and the subtle cedary cinnamon spice, barrel-ferment and oak derived aromas, violet and mint scents, as well as liquorice and chocolate smells. Interwined is this wounderful green edge that lifts the wine into a cool climate sepctrum which typifies the cold year. These Aromas combine with some cassis, blueberry,and cranberry, with lingering mocha and plumy fruit and are just showing through amongst a long, intense vibrant, gritty fruit tannin finish.

Wine Spectator Firm, with a velvety feel to the fairly dense blackberry, currant and mint flavors, finishing with a mild bite of tannins. ..... read more

Wine Advocate The 2002 The Coppermine Road Cabernet Sauvignon possesses a sweet perfume of roasted herbs, black currants, blackberries, lead pencil shavings, and background oak. Full-bodied and structured, it is just a notch below the quality of the 2003. ..... read more

Wine Advocate

2020

The 2002 The Coppermine Road Cabernet Sauvignon possesses a sweet perfume of roasted herbs, black currants, blackberries, lead pencil shavings, and background oak. Full-bodied and structured, it is just a notch below the quality of the 2003.

- WA, Robert Parker Jnr. Issue: #161

International Wine Cellar

2020

Saturated ruby-red. Aromas of currant, graphite, tobacco leaf, coconut and herbs. Sweet, fat and lush, with a light cabernet herbaceousness contributing to the wine's complexity. Finishes with palate-coating, slightly dry-edged tannins and very good length.

- IWC, Stephen Tanzer Issue: Aug 1 2004

Australian Wine Companion

2020

Pungent, powerful, raunchy style; intense blackcurrant fruit; nice French oak.

- AWC, James Halliday Issue: Oct 2004
