  Bright red colour and a nose that spoke more of the Hunter than of Cabernet. The palate was very smooth, delicate and displaying more of the Cabernet characteristics you would expect. No doubt the fruit has faded somewhat but this is a unique wine that stood up well to its reputation. Having met Max Lake a few times, a toast to the trailblazer was made.

  Fruit had faded and past its best but still provided a nice counterpoint to a slow roasted lamb shoulder. You could tell it was a nice wine in its prime but another example of keeping in the cellar too long.

  A distinct bright red. A rather varnishy and volatile nose precedes a fairly savoury palate of vaguely curranty fruitiness, but mostly just faded earth and soft tannins. There’s a certain delicacy to the wine which is pushing it rather toward feebleness. Should have been a better result for the vintage.
