A very young and primary Heathcote Cabernet that is far too young to drink even after a few hours in the decanter. It was very oaky on the nose and palate with lashings of vanilla, which hasn't integrated yet. Rich and concentrated with masses of blackberries, red currants and plums. A massive, full bodied, savoury wine with med plus acid, long length and firm tannins. Will try the next one in five years time or at least decant for an afternoon. A spectacular Bordeaux-style Cabernet with well over a decade ahead of it.
