  Fresh ruby red. Roses and raspberries on the nose with a little dried flowers. On the palate - big burst of sweet cherries with some pomegranate acidity. Very fine tannins and great balance. Lovely finish.

  Pronounced nose intensity with notes of both red and black fruits. Smoke, toast and spices notes. Medium+ acidity and medium+ tannin. Long finish.

  Was decanted a day ahead. This note a day after on reflection.
  
  A quiet and elegant wine, jubey and pure, with masses of complexity and almost unbelievably long finish in its lithe and light to medium frame. Oak is not a feature.
  
  Finest of tannin, energetic acidity, and body all in perfect harmony.
  
  This needs a quiet room, the closer and more time you can spend with this wine the higher the score goes up. Exceptional. Thank you duck.
  
  Drink now to 15 years, it will cellar but it’s so good now you’d hate to miss it peak. Only down side is that this is under cork. The only thing holding it back from a higher score is intensity and body which should come with age.
  
  In Australia there are not rules about what gets planted where. This is a fantastic example of Cabernets made by a Pinot producer- you can see the lightness of touch.
