A perfectly balanced Cabernet which is showing some early developed characteristics. Deep crimson brick red colour with deep brick red hue. The nose displays a distinctive Cabernet top note with aroma of cedar, cigar box, spice and blackcurrant emerging. Full bodied palate with flavours of blackcurrant, black cherry, cedar and liquorice emerging. Excellent weight and mouthfeel. Fine grained tannins with long blackcurrant, spice, liquorice aftertaste.

Robert Parker's Review
The 2002 Cabernet Sauvignon is a sexy, hedonistic, dark plum/purple-hued effort displaying a rich, sumptuous bouquet of cedar wood, licorice, new saddle leather, dried herbs, and creme de cassis. This is Australia’s version of a hedonistic vintage of Lynch Bages that includes a Rhone Valley herbes de Provence note. Seductive, fleshy, and succulent, it should be enjoyed over the next 5-7 years.
