TASTING NOTES

A refined Australian Cabernet with serious pedigree, this is the bottle to open when the moment calls for something truly special.

Rich cassis and dark berry flavours take centre stage, layered with cedar, warm spice and a subtle savoury edge. Powerful yet elegant, its finely grained tannins bring beautiful structure and depth, with the poise to reward careful cellaring.

Named in honour of one of Western Australia’s most influential winemakers, this 2019 Cabernet is a true wine icon. Enjoy it with slow-roasted beef, a classic cheeseboard or a long dinner shared with good company. 97 points from Huon Hooke, who calls it “a splendid cabernet that already shows complexity and promises to age superbly.”

Scores

97/100

Very deep, bright purple/red colour, with a concentrated cassis bouquet, fresh and youthful, with lifted aromatic notes suggesting blackberry, dried herbs, blueberry and a faint hint of peppermint, while the flavour is mouth-filling and concentrated in its intensity. Masses of fine, appropriately firm tannins coat the mouth, all components in harmony. A splendid cabernet that already shows complexity and promises to age superbly. (From the Justin vineyard)

The Real Review

Scores

97/100

The cabernet shape of the bottle is normal, its weight heavier – appropriate for (secret)'s belief that no wine was worth its gold unless it could be diluted with 50% water and still enjoyed. This is pure cabernet sauvignon, from a deep well of blackcurrant and black olive fruit, and tannins to make sure the wine outlives you.
