November 14, 2023 - Eucalyptus/menthol, blackcurrant, subtle chocolate and vanilla. Ripe fruit but still cool Cab in style, no jamminess. Drinking beautifully with softness but tannic grip.
Quite classic South Australian Cabernet, I suspect dominated by Coonawarra. Punches above its weight given this is maybe a third of the price of 407. No rush at all to drink these. -

April 25, 2021 - Drinks ok, nothing special. Tastes like a cab with high acidity, more than I recall when it was young.

November 29, 2020 - Blackcurrant and bold notes overpower the experience and quite simply... It was a bit rough!
