Ray Jordan’s review
Deep dark secrets are lurking in this polished and impressive cabernet. It was a vintage of challenges after a good start. Some late rain came via the end of a cyclone but those with courage to hold on were rewarded as the warm weather returned. Dark chocolate blackcurrant and black olive all find their way into a complex aromatic mix. Tannins are firm and ripe, adding structure to the core, while the oak has been lapped up by the powerful fruit intensity.
