Written Notes

Not really sure I would be keen to name a wine I made after a celluloid psychopath, but each to their own. For me, this is more Gandhi than Don Logan (Sir Ben Kingsley’s character in said ‘Sexy Beast’ movie – and if I may digress, as much as I loved Sir Ben in both, I still think Dustin Hoffman’s performance in ‘Tootsie’ should have walked in the Oscar, in the year of ‘Gandhi’. Robbery!). 

It has a calmness and completeness to it. Real balance. Even an appealing soft nature, and the one thing no one would ever say about Don Logan was that he was soft – unless, of course, he wanted you to and then I would have said whatever he wanted.

Back to the wine. Inky dark colour. Chocolate and tobacco leaf. The more time in the glass, the more it opened up. Aniseed and chocolate. Lots of chocolate. In comparison to the traditional cooler climate Cabs, this is much more plush, rich and ripe. Fine yet abundant tannins. Still youthful and there really is noticeable grip. Lovely now but it will take two to three more years to start peaking and then live for many years after that. 93.
