d`Arenberg The Coppermine Road 2001

D`Arenberg The Coppermine Road 2001 is a full-bodied red wine produced from Cabernet Sauvignon grapes in the McLaren Vale region of Australia. Run by the charismatic fourth-generation winemaker Chester Osborn, d`Arenberg is one of the best-known and most influential wineries in Australia. The Coppermine Road is the estate`s flagship Cabernet. Unctuous and multi-layered, it is well-known for its extraordinary ageing potential. "One of the finest Cabernet Sauvignons produced in South Australia is d’Arenberg’s Coppermine Road. The colossal 2001 The Coppermine Road Cabernet Sauvignon exhibits an opaque purple colour in addition to a gorgeous perfume of lead pencil shavings intermixed with blackberry and cassis fruit, vanilla, Asian spices, and white flowers. Still primary and young, with great intensity as well as tremendous upside potential, it requires 5-6 more years of aging, after which it will last for two decades." Wine Advocate, 2003
