Langmeil Winery - 5 Stars, James Halliday's Australian Wine Companion 2006-2011

The Blacksmith is very deep red, crimson in colour. The nose displays intense blackcurrant and blueberry fruits with hints of black olive, menthol and lovely sweet, biscuity French oak. The rich complexity of the aroma really flows onto the palate of this very full-bodied Cab Sauv. Extremely long and fruit driven, the finish is in total balance with youthfully austere tannin and briary spice.

Enjoy with tomato & meat based pastas, barbecue, pizza, lamb dishes.

In 1843 a 32 year old Blacksmith, Christian Auricht, arrived from Prussia with his wife and four children. He settled in the new hamlet of Langmeil and built a smithy, around which grew the trading centre of the village.

The artisan of iron has now made way for the new craftsman who has blended the oldest of Barossa traditions to forge this spectacular wine. This Cabernet Sauvignon has been matured in new (20%) and seasoned (80%) French oak for two years, achieving the structure, depth and balance expected from this premium Australian grape growing region.

Tasting notes for Langmeil Blacksmith Cabernet Sauvignon 2007

Deep, rich, black cherry colour, big tears.

Big, big nose - chocolate, menthol, pencil shavings/cigar box, coffee - very complex and deep.

Dry, big and full bodied, black fruit on open, big spice on mid-palate, ending on chocolate and coffee - fabulously smooth.

"Savage!"

Great wine. Although full bodied, the tannins are nice and silky. There's also a lovely elegance and freshness from the acidity. A favourite with the in-laws too.
