Impenetrable inky black colour with a deep dark red black hue. Lifted ripe blackcurrant aromas infused with tobacco and black olive drift from the glass trailed by vanillin cedar and a whiff of capsicum as an end note. Rich blackcurrant and liquorice fruits are framed by a firm tannin structure and bright acidity which imparts a sturdy feel onto the palate. Mulberry, earth and spicy tobacco characters lurk underneath. Muscular mid length finish.
Cellar 4-5 years.

Other Reviews…..
Coonawarra cabernet, of which 70% spent 12 months in French oak (65% new), the remainder matured in tank only. Freshness was clearly a priority of the winemaking team. Boysenberry, plum, juicy blackcurrant and grass-like characters burst energetically onto the palate. There's a chalk dust character in play here too, which is entirely varietal, along with crisp apple-like acidity. A gentle whisper of chocolate finishes off an attractive red wine. Drink by 2028.
