Majella Coonawarra GPL68 2016

The name is a tribute to George Patrick Lynn who ‘allowed’ his sons, Brian and Anthony, to plant vineyards in 1968. Almost a decade under its belt already, and from a near legendary vintage for the region, this Cabernet has many more years ahead of it – at least two decades. Deep maroon in colour, there is very well integrated oak still evident, along with spices, black fruits, a flick of coconut, dried herbs, cassis, graphite, aniseed, back fruits, coffee beans and cassis. Age has allowed the wine to blossom. It is finely balanced, with silky tannins and serious length, but at all times, maintains its intensity. A cracking Coonawarra Cabernet.
