Bottle no. 3516 of 4600. Estate-grown vines, over 40 years old, provided the grapes for this wine; matured for 18 months in predominantly new French barriques. As is the case with all of the top-end Katnook red wines, new oak plays a prominent role, but here it meets its match with the blackcurrant and mulberry fruit that is in turn given support by firm cabernet tannins. The net result is a wine of excellent length and varietal purity.
