One of Australia’s most famous Cabernets. First made in 1982 when John Wade was the winemaker. This is pure sublime elegance that shows the evolution from the slightly heavy-handed style that emerged at one point into the wines that are seamless and refined with superb structure and balance. The bright red cherry and slightly minty leafy fruit are concentrated but at the same time present with subtlety and effortlessness. Finely focused through to a long finish that gathers momentum as it drives through. One of the best.
