Best in class at 2009 IWSC
4½ stars in 2010 John Platter Wine Guide
A wine to savour. The aromas move confidently onto the palate and are complemented by juicy tannins that allow for immediate enjoyment and hint at opportunity for development too. This wine is both alluring and satisfying with a fine meal yet sufficiently sociable to allow for enjoyment on its own.
39 % Cabernet Sauvignon, 38 % Cabernet Franc and 23 % Merlot aged in 100 % new French Oak for 13.5 months. The wine is approachable and affirms the inclusion of a large proportion of Cabernet (both Franc and Sauvignon). A fresh modern interpretation of a classic Medoc, it is a wine that will impress in its youth and offer much complexity as it ages over the next 5 -8 years.
