An outstanding Coonawarra cabernet sauvignon of great power combined with incredible structure and finesse. The 2000 is starting to show some bottle development and if correctly cellared will continue to complex and reward over a minimum of 20 years.

BOUQUET Youthful and intensely varietal. Dense blackcurrant, mint chocolate and tobacco leaf complexed with toasty spice cedar oak.

PALATE Concentrated cassis and blackberry fruit intertwined with dark chocolate and oak derived spice. The palate is supported by powerful textured grape and oak tannins that lead to a long balanced finish to savour.

Cellar up to 2035+ years

94 Points - Mike Bennie The Wine Front 2024 - "Dark chocolate, sweet earthiness, clove and caraway seeds, game meat, salt bush, white pepper, liquorice, wet herbal notes. Feels even and very energetic. Sinewy tannins chime in. Striking wine in a way, defying the maturity and feeling impossibly fresh, yet with tell-tales of age. Very good. 94 points, 2024-2035+"
