This superb, opaque, purple-coloured, high-class blend of 68% Cabernet Sauvignon, 20% Merlot, and 12% Cabernet Franc, has brilliantly absorbed its ageing in 100% new French oak.
The wine is classy, pure, and as my tasting notes opined, "the Leoville Las Cases of Australia?"
With gorgeous black cherry and black currant flavours intermixed with lead pencil, vanillin, and mineral, medium to full body, high tannin, and superb delineation, it will benefit from 1-2 years of cellaring and drink well for 15-16.
This is another candidate for inserting into a blind tasting of top class Bordeaux to see how it fares.
