Garnet-purple, opaque, minimally brown edges. Very viscous. Sweet black cherry, blackberry aroma with some herbal and smoky components. Elegant and complex. Very rich and full-bodied flavors, highly extracted, somewhat hot, but very well balanced, so the tannin does not predominate over the fruit. Long but slightly hot aftertaste. One of the best Aussie cabs I've ever had...great to drink now, doubt it can possibly get any better, but should easily last 5-10 years. Ric

Fabulous cabernet from Michael Twelftree, very smooth and ready to drink. Slightly herbal cabernet aromas and flavors, perfectly balanced, great aftertaste. No significant tannin. Drink or hold, but I think it won't get any better. Ric

Pretty medium red, very deep. Strong alcohol on the nose with deep plum and spice. Deep purple fruits with milk chocolate. Very nice.
