This announces its arrival with compelling aromas of mocha, cigar-box spice and a medley of black and red fruits. It's mesmerising, the nose keeps evolving with licorice and graphite notes emerging—very alluring and intoxicating. On the palate, it’s elegantly composed, hitting just mid-weight with its alcohol. Fine silken tannins carry a myriad of flavours along, their powdery fineness defies what we think about cabernet. An understated Aussie classic that should be a pillar in any cellar.
