Written Notes

A blend of Cabernet Sauvignon, Merlot, Malbec and Petit Verdot (65/20/10/5). Spends 18 months in 80% new oak.
This seems juicier and plusher than some vintages of No.1. A good ripe year, without the warmth of the rather firm and dry ’13, and entirely even. There’s still the passing whiff of dried leaves and hedgerow in amongst the red fruit, with that great interplay between varietal hints, red/black fruit through the mid palate and long, fine tannins. Would not be out of place with much more expensive claret. Every piece here is in its right place. Best drinking: 2020-2040. 18.5, 94/100. 13.5%, $92. Would I buy it? Again, it’s expensive, but against comparable Bordeaux (and top end Aussie Cabs) this is well priced. Will live for a very long time too.
