Another excellent nose: cabbish, blackberry, plummy and charred meats with oak barely apparent: all in harmony. Fleshy and grainy tannins galore. Lovely wine; still has a big future. Lavish flavour, lush and plush. Superb. Now to 10+ years.

90 Points James Halliday
Medium to full red-purple; juicy berry fruit aromas with some spice dominate the bouquet; the oak is subtle. Tasted early in its life, the tannins were a little jumpy and not 100 per cent integrated, but all the components are there, including some minty fruit. 65 per cent Cabernet Sauvignon, 35 per cent Shiraz. Drink to 2015.
