"Deep crimson. Fresh blackcurrant, mulberry, dark plum fruits with vanilla notes. Well balanced and inky deep with lovely blackcurrant, mulberry, dark plum fruits, fine slinky/hint leafy textures and some vanilla notes. Cedar firm finish. 79% cabernet sauvignon, 21% merlot. " Drink till 2030.

"Margaret River sets the scene for this (and similar) blends, rolling out layers of blackcurrant-accented fruit, oak and tannins levers used to shape a full-bodied wine. Cassis, licorice and plum are all there to be had." Drink till 2032.

"Good depth of ruby colour with a trace of purple. The bouquet shows classic regional violet, blueberry, cassis aromas, definitively cabernet, while the palate is rich and medium to full-bodied, tautly textured with slightly firm but balanced tannins. It treads a nice line between fruit and savoury tastes and is drinking well now. Good value, too." Drink till 2029.
