    Some specific flavors and aromas mentioned are black cherry, black currant, cedar, baking spices, and graphite.  I was able to pick up on the black cherry and a little bit of the cedar, which I was surprised because I have not really been able to pick up many odd flavors/scents thus far into my wine drinking career.

    Diving into Australian wines specifically, it mentions that most Australian Cabernet Sauvignons are made in the southern region of the continent.  Some of the specific flavors and aromas that are mentioned in the southern Australia region are black cherry, black currant, and black tea.  I was able to pick up black tea more in the aftertaste, I think because of how much tannins I was able to pick up on. 

My Personal Review:

    Really good for what I paid for the bottle.  I was able to get that cherry up front and a little bit of cedar like I mentioned.   This wine I felt was very dry and had a strong tannic finish which I actually did not mind.  This was a very solid wine and I would definitely buy it again.  I did not pair it with any food, but some of the foods mentioned that pair well with Cabernet Sauvignon are rich grilled meats, peppery sauces, and dishes with high flavor so I might look to pair this with a steak.
