  A better bottle than the last. The fruit is well defined, decent balance with firmish tannins. Not a great wine, and certainly mot worth the RRP. At half price (or less), it might be worth a bottle or 2.

  Not sure about this at the moment. Seems imbalanced - will leave it for a couple more years

  Powerful yet silky smooth mouthfeel. Well balanced with firm mature tannins and sharp fresh acids. Long semi-complex finish. This is a definite favorite Australian Cabernet that matches the Napa kind fully.

  Beaucoup de matière, amertume moyenne-forte, manque d'acidité, tanins charnus à souples, boisé, eucalyptus, monotone…

  A heady nose of concentrated plum and ripe blackberry are amply supported by understated olive and toasty vanillin oak.
  
  Each element of the 09 release shows class and character, it's big, it's bold but it works well together.
  
  The fruit on the palate is highlighted by blackberry with cedary oak and subtle tannins providing texture and structure.
  
  The wine finishes with lingering liquorice and dark berry fruits, who said that Barossa doesn't do Cabernet ?
