  Wow, just wow.
  
  This could just be a perfect wine for me. It’s in such a good place with typical Aussie fruit with a load of savoury, persistent (yet subtle not brash) leathery notes.
  
  The structure is immense and reflects the low yields and delicate touch. This dances around the palate and is pure pleasure.

  Deep magenta. Just a touch of browning. Fairly restrainted at first, giving away gentle notes of red berries. There is a touch of green as well- tobacco leaf character from the CF (this is 85% CS and 15% CF, 900 cases made). Feels a shade cool and thin. I thought it might gather weight but on day 2 it had already faded. On this showing, slightly disappointing for this label and the vintage.

  Didn't make any notes, but do remember it to be very very good. Was more medium bodied than I expected it to be.
  
  Still has years ahead of it!

  In some ways this is exactly the red wine one would expect Jeffrey Grosset to make: restraint and structure all sealed safely away under screw-cap. But austerity is a noticeable absentee here. Possessing a certain symmetry: red and black fruit, acidity and long silky tannins all have their say without a single voice dominating. A welcome reminder of just how good Clare reds can be. A blend of 85% Cabernet Sauvignon and 15% Cabernet Franc. 13.7% ABV. Bonsoir.
