Blankiet Estate Paradise Hills Vineyard Cabernet Sauvignon 2004

Justin Bothur

Really fucking big

LM Segal

Stellar, feminine and beautifully layered. Strawberry compote and clouds of cassis. Fell off after about 90 mins would not decant this.

Not a rough edge to be found. Superb. Could smell the nose all day. This is a hybrid of Bordeaux and Napa. Dark and flavorful fruits on the nose. Mainly cassis, blackberries and plum. Soft on the palate. Leafy, ripe blackberries and stems. If you have this, drink now!

Adam Jesberger

Had it all

Overheard while tasting..."ooh that's good" delicious, but short finish.

Neville Weston

Big California Cab, could taste the high alcohol level at first but had a super fruit concentration and smooth finish….perfect with our steak!

Ron Siegel

Purchased on release after visiting Claude at his estate.

Jeroen Koenen

Stupendous stuff. Soft, sweet and sexy in the nose. Structured, sultry and cedary on the palate. Black cherries, Crème de Cassis, vanilla-caramel-mocha swirls. Topped off by some whiffs of earth, ink and soysauce. Spectacular. Dive in now or any time in the next decade.

Jeroen Koenen

Terrific wine in a great spot right now. Boasting gorgeous notes of black cherries, purple plums, vanillapods, grilled bellpepper and luxurious oak. Pinch of soysauce and freshly cut herbs. Wonderful grainy tannines and some refreshing acidity.

Mike Levin

Usual balance and poise but all new world.
