Gorgeous aromatics of dark, ripe cherries plus a hint of cassis. The palate is vibrant and supple with an elegant structure and juicy red fruits. Great flavour and excellent length

A classic Coonawarra cabernet with one proviso: good cabernet has to have ripe tannins as part of its DNA. The winery also has its part to play in the evolution of the wine, and in particular manage the extract so that tannins don't clamber all over the fruit. This wine doesn't suffer that much, but the sharp edges of the tannins should have been softened a little more. Drink to 2036.
