1998 Eyton On Yarra Cabernet Merlot

Very deep brick red colour. Aroma of blackcurrant, cedar and a hint of earth, followed by a leafy, green olive end note. The vegetal character, happily, does not find its way onto the palate, which displays flavours of earth, blackcurrant plum and spice. Good length and persistence, followed by flavours of earth, truffles and cedar. Velvet smooth tannins. Cellar 3-4 years.

RATING: 85/100

VALUE: XXX/5
