Bob Campbell
Dense yet supple Cabernet Sauvignon with layers of berry, spice/cedar and a solid influence of oak. Hard to fully appreciate, even at four years old - the oak dominates too much at this stage. Needs masses of time

96 Points James Halliday
Dense colour; an intense wine with tremendous depth of flavour despite modest alcohol; blackcurrant and blackberry fruit resonates through the palate, which has absorbed its lengthy stay in French oak; the tannins, too, are balanced. Drink to 2025.
