A dusty Cabernet, made by Ben Glaetzer. Opaque black crimson colour with purple black hue. The nose is lifted, with notes of cedar and spice, followed by ripe blackcurrant with a violet end note. The palate displays a touch of tea leaf over a blackcurrant background, followed by cedar, cigar and spice. Fine dry, persistent tannins. Aftertaste of blackcurrant, cedar and spice.

Other Reviews...
A rich, ripe profusion of flavours from cassis to capsicum, and just about everything in between; good tannins; will repay cellaring.
