Written Notes

This wine is always a selection of the very best parcels of both Cabernet and Shiraz from the estate. It is aged in French oak barrels, all new, for fourteen months before bottling. The wine is then given another two years in bottle before it is released. The blend is 78% Cabernet Sauvignon and 22% Shiraz. It is under cork but they do guarantee that there is no possibility of taint (anyone who immediately thought of selling the team a bridge should be ashamed of themselves). 

The colour is an almost blue/purple. A most evocative nose with chocolate, tomato bush notes, tobacco leaves, coffee beans, licorice and graphite. There is good complexity throughout and, as we move to the palate, we see the emergence of stronger notes of blackberries, mocha and cocoa powder. The wine has silky tannins, very good intensity and serious length. It is a ten to fifteen year proposition, probably longer. A beautiful wine. 96.
