Deep and dark with a dense core. The nose shows fruit to the fore, although much more: cassis, raspberry coulis, an underlay of red liquorice, black olive, soy and artefacts of well hidden oak. Youthful, lively and alluring! Textured, lush and chewy, with an even coating, of talc-like tannins, the palate has a 'compression' of flavour, without heaviness or over-extraction...marmalade, orange and tangerine citrus notes align those that dedry Cabernet. The wine is poised and balanced, with highly stylised and crafted oak, and highly defined and structured, showcasing the 'finest cut' of ripe, low yielding Cabernet. This is 100% Cabernet Sauvignon from Barossa Valley, McLaren Vale, Coonawarra. The wine was matured in new American oak hogsheads for 15 months. Above average winter rainfall led into a promising vintage, which was characterised by mild conditions up until February, followed by hot weather conditions throughout March and April. South Australia fared well and produced wines of elegance and intensity. Idealy matched with beef, duck and game. |
