  A much underated quality Coonawarra Cabernet Sauvignon. After a bit of breathing, first impressions are of aromas of red and dark berries and some florals, possibly violets. On the palette, delicious cabernet fruit with background chocolate, mint, a hint of menthol (could be eucalypt), subtle acid and fine tannins. A bit of zing but not disjointed. Good body and nice length. In my opinion this vintage is only just starting to show its' potential. Will likely improve with another 5-8 years in a good cellar. 91+

  Singapore Airlines - Business & Lounges; 6/22/2015-6/26/2015 (Sydney, Singapore, Frankfurt): {screwcap, 14.6%} Basic new world cabernet from the lesser offerings of the Coonawarra vineyards; dark currant & vanilla nose, followed by a palate of gritty tannins and spicy flavours, along with a leafy cabernet note. Despite never rising above medium-bodied in weight, does rather display the fairly high alcohol. Low gritty tannins, and soft acid provide the only real structure; any oak is a seasoning only. Basic commercial effort; not to cellar.
