  A dark and serious style that is a dead ringer for left bank Bordeaux. Brooding almost. This is all black current and tobacco leaf with firm tannin still. With lots of air some blackberry fruit and a lace of eucalyptus caress the senses. But the dominating personality of this wine leans on the current and tobacco leaf. I can see this being in top shape 10 more years from now. Well done James Cole and Bertus!

  Wonderful nose of blackberries, eucalyptus, pencil lead. Mouth feel smooth, medium weight with some tannins. Rather dusty/chalky. Not compelling.

  Excellent cab. Lots of eucalyptus on the nose and palate, but doesn't get in the way of the rest of it. Reminded me of a subtler version of an Australian cab. Drinking great now with 30 minutes of air, 7-10 years left in it.
