Two thirds shiraz, one third cabernet. Though when you drink the wine you’d be ok thinking it was the other way around. A potent cabernet year, here, it seems. Anyways, the Aussie classic rolls on. It’s a delight, understated in a way though texture is loose-knit and supple while the perfume reeks of blue fruits, mint, gum leaf and salt bush. The palate does wonders in texture, gently staining the tongue, soft in the finish and yet a sense of ghostly train tracks of tannin makes things matter in structure and length. A deep sigh of red wine with flavour writ large, beautiful velvety feel and this great sense of freshness and lift too. Ripper drinking. 93 points. - Mike Bennie, Wine Front.
