  Dark red through to the edges. Luscious body, cassis (black currants and red currants) ripe but not overripe, typical quality Coonawarra fruit with hints of mint and eucalypt intermingled, good cedary oak supporting the fruit and not dominating. Drinking well now and likely to cellar for another 5-8 years. 91

  Solid enjoyable wine, hardly showing any age.

  So my aged cellar selection was undrinkable. Bought this from the bottleshop at the pub. Climate control non existent. Still, seems to have survived the ordeal. Dark brooding red. Lovely fruit driven cabernet. Good acid backbone. Drinking well now.

  An excellent Cabernet. Fruit, berries and soft tannins. Great bouquet and long finish. Drinking well now and will be good for several more years.

  Dark fruit dominant with quality oak in support. Good length with racy acidity. Evolves nicely and should cellar well. Future years might see higher scores.
