First release; 90% Springton cabernet sauvignon planted from the 1890s, 10% Barossa Valley old-vine shiraz. Aged 18 months in 50% new French oak hogsheads. 1590 bottles. A full-bodied wine of ultimate coherence and quality, the bouquet setting the signal for the palate to follow. Attention to detail is obvious, especially the handling of tannins and oak. The integration of these components with the blackcurrant fruit is faultless.

Deep colour, more developed than expected with a subtle purple tint. The bouquet shows blackcurrant, dried herbs and a hint of crushed leaf, the palate tremendously rich and concentrated but also supple, velvet smooth and extremely long. The smoky, earthy-spice of shiraz appears in tandem with the cassis of cabernet, one more apparent one moment, the other the next. A stunning red, combining the best of both varieties.
