Ripe, silky cabernet sauvignon with cassis, blackcurrant, liquorice, leather and baked earth flavours. The wine has a firm backbone of sweet tannins and will clearly develop well with further bottle age, but it is also surprisingly accessible now. Elegance on a grand scale

If there was less oak, this could have been a seriously good Coonawarra cabernet. As it is, it will appeal to many, with its cassis fruit girdled by cedar and cigar box flavours. Lots to enjoy with the right food (high-flavoured beef). Drink to 2032.
