Tasting Notes
This is a stunning version of Barossa Valley Cabernet Sauvignon, with depth, concentration and an unmistakable elegance. All the characteristics of the variety in a regional framework. An abundance of dark fruits on the palate with a velvety, smoky and cedar note finish. Strong tannins will give the wine all it needs to age graceful over the next couple of years.

Scores
95 / 100"91.6% cabernet sauvignon, the balance merlot and petit verdot. Matured for 15 months in a mix of new and older French hogsheads. A dense sort of bouquet at this stage, comprised of black fruits with a cedary oak presence and some earthy/gamey characters. Deep, dark flavours saturate the palate and linger on the finish, but are yet to fully reveal themselves."
