  This wine is opaque with a garnet hue. The nose is classic Aussie Cabernet Sauvignon- Blackberry, black currants, mint, eucalyptus, coffee, blueberry compote, açaí berry, bilberry and vanilla. A very inviting and complex nose to say the least. On the palate it is gorgeous. Ripe tannins and medium (+) acidity coat the black and blue fruit notes with emphasis on blueberry compote. The richness of the fruit and the oak influence make for a full bodied wine that has pronounced flavors. The minty component is delicious. The finish of this wine is quite long and very balanced as is the whole package. I am enjoying this immensely. It gets 93 points from me and for $30 it's a 5 star effort to be drunk till 2027. We are pairing it with Bavette steak.

  Sharp and lively. Still very young needs more time to settle.

  Youthful purple color. Nose has lots of cedarwood, tobacco, and jammy blackberries. Big and full bodied, the blackberry and black currant hit you in the fore, then nice herbs, toasted vanilla, and a crushed stones finish with a lingering of spiced blackberry. Excellent cabernet drinking well at this stage. Great balance.
