A wine to excite, a compelling example of Cabernet class meets Barossan complexity. Squeezes out every last bit of generous fruit and lively spiciness and ties it beautifully in a tight knot of tannin, layer upon layer, sporting black fruits, cassis, violet floral aromatics, allspice, anise, earth and a rising attractive autumnal leafiness. It’s all here drawn together in tight, fine tannins. Seriously intense and concentrated in its early form, it can only go on and on well into the next 2030s decade.
