Very deep, dark, dense red/purple colour. Concentrated, fleshy, tannic and dense: a powerhouse of a wine. Fruit sweetness is in superb balance with the tannin and structure. It's much less leafy than the pure cabernet. A great wine of sensational power, depth and structure.

Has a degree of impact and presence that caught me by surprise the first time I tasted it, no surprise from re-tasting other than the affirmation of its power. This is a wine of royal bloodlines, both of its predecessors and the 1971 Stanley Leasingham Bin 56 Cabernet Malbec adding a further testimonial. Drink to 2045.
