Deep garnet. Aromas of cassis, red currant, plum jam, coffee, wet grass, leather, cedar and stock cube. Full body Coarsely grained, chewy tannins. Blackcurrant acids and espresso bitterness. Palate of blackcurrant jam, plum, thyme, sandalwood, menthol and forest floor. A fruity, fresh and attractive cabernet with jammy fruit, delicate nutty and grassy aromas and rather long bittersweet finish. Drink within 10 years. Tasted 2023. Tasted alongside Penfolds bin 707, 1994. In comparison, the matched wine was muscular, deeper and a more complex wine, yet the present wine will most likely evolve into a great, subtle and multi-layered cab sauv over time.

Deep dark ruby with no signs of bricking, nice open nose, dark berries and forest floor dominate. Big body with Darcy fruit well balanced with some acidity and well resolved tannins. Drinking perfectly but cold easily cellar for another 5 years.

Drinking beautifully right now. Big bold dark fruit on the nose with some mature flavors coming through, full body with some residual grippy tannins. This will hold a few more years for sure, but I don't see any reason to wait.

Big and bold with tannins still very evident. Drinking well but can cellar for a couple more years.
