Charlie Melton does Barossa cabernet well … real well. Not much in the way of edgy herbaceous notes here. It's all about purity of fruit – blackberry, blackcurrant and black cherry at the core, with an array of spice, cedar, licorice, crème de cassis and earth. It's 100% new oak for 20 months, and the fruit just sucks it up like a hungry labrador. The tannin has some grunt too, and there is a freshness that is bang on.
