Product Details
This has long been one of my favourite Cabernets from Coonawarra and this vintage will do nothing but enhance that. It is also, every year, one of the great bargains to be found anywhere. The wine spends time maturing in French oak. A black purple hue, this is beautifully worked, intense and yet elegant. Blackberries, tobacco leaves, cassis, hints of cigar boxes - think Cohiba Robusto. Gorgeously fragrant, there are also notes of bergamot and florals. Juicy acidity runs the full journey, to an extremely long finish with the silkiest of tannins. It is immaculately balanced from start to finish. Tightly woven, this is a classic and cracking Coonawarra Cabernet. Wonderful drinking now, but it is also a ten to fifteen year proposition. Not that I am suggesting they raise the price, but to be honest, it is almost an insult to a wonderful wine. Drink by: 2024-2039. Score - 96. (Ken Gargett, winepilot.com, Oct. 2024)
