The release window is just about correct here: at 5 years old it has softened considerably from the early, frisky, vivacity that cabernet exudes, and all things have melted into one. The spice, the fruit, the acid and the oak are seamlessly joined, making it difficult to seperate or tease apart. Elegant, mid weight and generally lovely. It has an heirloom tomato/claret aspect which is most appealing.

A great one to cellar, this is everything you’d expect from a quality Clare Valley cabernet. It’s leafy and cedary with mulberry, black olive and herbal notes. Impeccably structured, it has just the right balance of plush fruit richness and fine tannin; a magic combination of power and elegance. It will easily cellar for 10 years or more. Enjoy it with rich meaty dishes.
