The immediate impression of the nose is one of liveliness and fragrance, combining black and red currant with roses, five spice and liqueur cherry. There is complexity as well with soft, toasty oak, and some of the classic Ribbon Vale tar, linseed and seaweed.
Deep, youthful red/purple colour with a shy, elusive nose. There are subtle violet and red fruit scents, and no greener notes, while the palate is gloriously deep, intense, powerfully structured and profound. The tannins and fruit are superbly integrated and the finish rolls on and on with great panache. There's an inner core of fruit sweetness balanced by crisp acidity. This should age superbly and build more complexity, becoming an outstanding wine in time. I cannot recall a better Ribbon Vale red. 03 FEB 2018

Almost ethereal cabernet sauvignon in an elegant rather than blockbuster style with cassis, new leather, spice, subtle dried herb and smoky oak flavours. A wine of restrained power with obvious cellaring potential - it opened up magnificently in the glass and deserves to be decanted. 19 DEC 2017
96 points Bob Campbell The Real Review
On the palate it shows the evolution of the vineyard, where once this wine was distinctly savoury now there are rich, almost sweet dark berry and cherry fruits and an almost confectionery jubey muskiness. The palate gives just a glimpse of Ribbon Vales past, with firm tannin and leather and tarry notes on the finish, but the overall impression is one of great balance and length.
