"From a vineyard planted around 1985, neighbouring the famous railway line between Coonawarra and Penola, maturation was for almost two years in French oak, 30% new. For me, one of the stars of this year’s releases and certainly, hands down, the top value offering. Shades of opaque purple, this is still very young, though absolutely gorgeous. Approachable, with spicy notes, mulberries, cassis, blackberries, mint and tobacco leaves – a really impressive example of Coonawarra supported by firm and abundant tannins, impeccable balance and a fine lingering finish with the intensity maintained throughout. A stunning Coonawarra Cabernet which will drink beautifully over the next decade or two.

"Bright red fruit of Coonawarra Cabernet Sauvignon bursts out of the blocks. The red berry and high-end florals lift with a subtle cedary oak character. The palate is still quite tight as the influence of the 24 months in mostly French oak has an initial impact. Fine chalky tannins and neatly balanced oak complement the intense and concentrated fruit delivered with medium weight."
