Deep in colour, this young cabernet smells of heathland, herbs, blackcurrants and dark chocolate, dabbed subtly with lightly charry oak. The palate is fine in texture, medium in body, and intensely flavoured in the more herbal cabernet spectrum. It flows silky across a solid foundation of ripe tannins to a powerful, long finish 09 MAR 2021 Drink 2021–2033

Hand picked, sorted and fermented as whole berries with a stirring, 21 days on skins to glean colour, aromatic precursors and most importantly, real tannin, the lack of which is the bane of so much Australian wine. The oak, 20% new. Measured. Classy. Take note. Definitively Aussie after-dinner-minty, but the buffering of blackcurrant, Asian plum, carob and bouquet garni-saturated tannins works. Long, authoritative and age-worthy.
