There are lifted aromas of dark blackcurrant fruit along with subtle choc-mint and a hint of eucalyptus. On the palate, this is a rich, full-bodied wine with intense flavours of cassis and blackberry fruit along with attractive oak characters of cigar box and tobacco leaf. Overall, the wine is well balanced with complex, well-integrated, elegant tannins providing structure and an intense, persistent length to the finish.
The wine was matured in French oak barrels (50% 1 year old, 50% a combination of 2 and 3 year old) for a period of 10 – 12 months before being bottled.
94 Point Rated & 5 Stars Sam Kim Wine Orbit
"It's gorgeously fragrant on the nose, showing cassis, blueberry, fennel and violet notes with a whiff of cigar. The palate displays excellent weight and refined texture, wonderfully framed by fine, chalky tannins. It's bold and structured yet with plush mouthfeel, offering terrific drinking. At its best: now to 2036"
93 Point Rated - Bob Campbell The Real Review
"Dense wine with a core of sweetness that almost balances the slightly bitter phenolics evident on the finish. Taut, tight wine with potential for bottle development."
Mike Bennie Halliday Wine Companion
"Lots of choc mint, indeed the palate almost piquant with mintiness, the aromas more grounded in dark fruits, woody spice. The balance is ok, the wine feels a bit thin but you could say easy drinking too. A bit one dimensional, indeed, a simple wine, but in sweet fruit and generic cabernet land, this could please a legion."
