Medium dark purple red: amazingly bright young colour. Nice meaty, rich blackberry and blueberry aromas, cassis, very varietal but not leafy at all. Excellent fruit ripeness. Depth, length and structure, with tannins running throughout the mouth. Sweet blackberry fruit, almost fruit-driven in style but has great balance between fruit and savoury aspects. Elegant, medium length. Worth cellaring

96 Points James Halliday
Lavish levels of high quality oak have been used to frame superbly ripe and focused cabernet fruit; the palate has serious intent written all over it, with great depth, layers of texture and fruit, toasty oak, and a long succulent finish with attractive tannins drawing out to conclude. Drink to 2025.
