The Advertiser: 1998 Highbank 'Coonawarra'

The Advertiser, Adelaide - Food and Wine - Top 100 Wines

(92++ points; $44; 13.5 percent alcohol; drink 2005 to 2012)

WILD aniseed, mint and forest vines introduce this baby. These greens vibrate on top as the smoother, softer, chocolate and blackcurrant flesh grows deliciously below. After that early-opening frenzy, it becomes apparent that the wine has a lovely subdued structure, settling in for the long haul. The oak is smoky, subtle, spicy and supportive. Overall, it’s elegantly balanced and ready to go - it simply needs lots of calm cellar.
