"This wine shows the benefit of an extra year in the bottle – it’s coming together really well. Not the perfume of the 2018, but there is structure and poise here. Pronounced seaweed nori aroma with blackcurrant fruitiness and slightly toasty oak. This was a vintage that continues to reveal itself and should never be overlooked. It has such a seamless and slinky integrated palate that it just coasts through effortlessly to a sustained, long finish. A beautiful medium bodied wine. Normally this wine gets a small amount of Petit Verdot but, because of the cooler vintage, none was included in the 2019. You really get a sense of prettiness and purity plus the detail in the wine when you get to the end of the glass. Brilliant." - 98 Points, Ray Jordan, Wine Pilot
Description
// 78% Cabernet Sauvignon & 22% Malbec
"Bright garnet appearance, with incredibly fruit-expressive aromas evoking blackcurrant coulis, with hints of dried rosemary and fresh basil. Pretty floral perfumes of lavender and lily intermingle with traces of native summer forest and fungi. Beautiful transparency of vineyard site is on display as the delicate scent of dried peppy leaf on the banks of the Wilyabrup Brook lifts in the glass, accompanied by cacoa, crayon and an intriguing musk like fragrance. On the palate, a succulent, creamy entrance brimming with vibrant fruit weight. The concentrated, elegant body embeds on the palate, framed by a super fine, powdery tannin structure. Relaxed in its completeness, the comfortable dry finish lingers on with tantalising flavours of blackcurrant, dark chocolate, and sweet aromatic oak." - Winemaker Notes
