An 80/12/4/3/1% blend of cabernet sauvignon, merlot, malbec, cabernet franc and petit verdot; 18 months in French barriques (48% new). The bouquet is perfumed and very attractive, but doesn't prepare you for the sheer intensity of the quite beautiful palate, with gloriously juicy redcurrant and cassis cradled by fine tannins and integrated oak.
97 points James Halliday Wine Companion
Deepish red/purple colour. Black olive oak and cedary smoky aromas. Medium-bodied and lean, with taut, focused structure and elegance, if not particularly big or powerful. It has concentration and clarity, with appealing hints of violet. Balanced and discreet. Quite good length. This looks as if it needs time and should be a delicious, elegant style of cabernet when ready. (12% merlot, 4% malbec, 3% cabernet franc, 1% petit verdot. 48% new oak) 27 SEP 2013
