Excellent, another gorgeous Coonawarra cabernet. 14% alc. Very typical of variety from region. Modestly priced for quality. Colour: dense black berries Bouquet: rich plush red berries with spice and mint Palate: mint, sweet spicey plums and black currants, black pepper, cedar, licirce and charcoal, a touch of greenness, balanced by fruit, soft fine-grained French oak and clean but subtle acid. Medium body, though full flavoured and emphasis is on elegance. Long clean finish. Great mouthfeel and texture. Still drinks excellently on second night. July 2021

It was OK but nothing to write home about. Would I buy and cellar it for a decade? No.

Drinking really well now. Sweetish blackcurrant fruit, nicely in balance with the soft tannins.
