95/5% cabernet sauvignon/shiraz; matured 18 months in 50% new French oak hogsheads. The cooler vintages yield the most exciting Barossa cabernets. This is a season packed with density and definition in a compact core that encapsulates the full spectrum of varietal hallmarks of cassis, blackcurrant, capsicum, tobacco, coffee bean and cedar. True to the season, it's already evolving into the savoury spectrum of sweet roast capsicum, yet holds the integrity, stamina and firm, fine, mineral tannins to age long. Another truly great Mentor.
