Ummm... yeah... pretty uninspiring with a nose of eucalyptus and herbal notes backed by strong oak. On the palate, what fruit is there is overwhelmed with oak and leather. Firm tannins and an overall unbalanced cabernet that either needs time to settle down or probably won't ever. I'm leaning towards the latter. Bleh.. I think I'm going to stick to their Shiraz bottling. I'm not even going to bother with a score.

purplish red, smell very woody and mineral. A very powerful RED with strong scent of rasberry, dry, and rich texture
