100% New French. Maturing nose, dark berries and some herb. Palate is dark berries, sweet, spicy exotic. 80 year old vineyard and half ton per acre. I'd buy this -slightly less expensive than the Command.

Cabernet (and blends) celebration (Ben and Estella's place, Parramatta): Served blind. Ripe black fruits, very slightly reductive, sweet spice, slight alcohol warmth, with agitation a little jubey blackcurrant, cedar. Medium plus intensity acidity, lovely tannic burr is slightly coarse, ripe black fruits, a little alcohol warmth intrusion on the finish. Hmm. Obvious quality in that ripe extracted way but not for me.

This is seriously good wine, deep, dark and brooding. You feel the old vine sap and it is glossy, without a hair out of place. It’s core of cassis is super-intense, and length of flavour drives on and on.
