Given extended post-fermentation maceration for 28 days, then 14 months in French barriques (50% new) for 14 months before a final barrel selection. A very powerful exposition of cabernet with a cavalcade of flavours of cassis/blackcurrant, mulberry and even a hint of plum, all enhanced by quality oak and ripe tannins.
98 points James Halliday
Deep red/purple colour; bright and youthful. Dusty young bouquet with subdued but slowly emerging blackberry and blackcurrant fruit. It's powerful and very strongly structured on palate; the fruit is classic dark berries and violets, backed by firm high-quality tannins. It all lingers with great persistence. It demands time and will richly repay cellaring. An outstanding cabernet. 09 MAY 2015
