Fine-boned, linear cabernet sauvignon with dark berry, violet, dark chocolate, cedar, new leather and spicy oak flavours. It's a perfectly-balanced wine with obvious cellaring potential. A complex wine with underlying power. Date Tasted: April 2022; Drink: 2022 to 2055; Price: $175.00; Alcohol: 14%; Rating: 96 Points; Bob Campbell MW; The Real Review

96% Cabernet Sauvignon and 2% each of Cabernet Franc and Petit Verdot, this is elegance personified. A low yielding and slightly cooler vintage, the grapes went into small open tanks for fermentation, with thrice daily hand-plunging. 15 days on skins and then pressed to tank before it was racked to French oak, 15% new. Over two years maturation. As mentioned, elegance personified. A silky combination of coiled power and finesse, this is a glorious Cabernet. Blackberries, spices, tobacco leaves, kid leather, violets, cigar box notes, aniseed and delicately integrated oak. There is a gossamer-like web of complexity weaving through the wine. Seamless, great length and cashmere tannins. This is a brilliant wine. Ten years, twenty years? How long have you got? If you are serious about great Australian Cabernet, this is a must for your cellar. Date: April 2022; Drink: 2022-2042; Rating: 99 Points; Ken Gargett; Wine Pilot

Powerful, compact, brooding sort of style, but tight too, all black fruit, dark chocolate, a seasoning of bay leaf and baking spice, some floral notes peeping over the top. Tannin is earthy and dense, but smooth and layered, boysenberry and dark raspberry, firm acidity set neatly inside, and a tobacco and black olive savoury finish of length and intensity. A very strong release, indeed maybe the best in the last decade. High drinkability, even early. Tasted: May 2022; Alcohol: 14%; Price: $130; Closure: Screwcap; Drink: 2027-2043+; Rated: 96 Points; Gary Walsh; The Wine Front
