Deep dark ink, leads to a typical Coonawarra nose with mint and herbaceousness plus lush fruit. The palate has blackerry, plum, refined tannins and cedar tones with some ricness and balance. Lovely finish. Enjoying this one.

Not as sheerly exciting as when young. Maybe caught in a slightly awkward phase. Still a delicious Cabernet though, with Coonawarra written all over it. Drink or hold as this ought to reveal more with time.

Opened on Xmas Day 2013, decanted, and consumed slowly. A lovely drop showing typical attributes of a premium cab sav, although slight herbaceousness on the nose suggested a longer cellaring period. Another 4 or 5 years and it will be in its prime.

Drinking very well and still quite primary, big hit of mint and heavy fruit - nice acidity and powdery tannins giving good length and balance - will continue to improve over the next couple of years

Deep red in colour, the nose shows plum and blackberry fruit that is backed by sweeter cinnamon / cedary oak characters.
The palate is steeped in blackberry with firm tannins and drying acidity that give way to black pepper and subtle mint on the long dark fruited finish. Review Link - www.winereviewer.com.au (drink from 2013-2020)
