Tres Bon mate, tres bon. This bottle at 23 years old was absolutely in the sweet spot. The tannins were fully integrated, acid was spot on and the fruit was perfectly aged. Tremendously drinkable. I personally wouldn't have picked it as a Coonawarra, but what would I know? Either way, I'm so happy when you age a top wine and it comes out of the bottle like this. Lovely.

As per previous notes. Dense crimson in colour. Cedar, blackberry and geranium. To borrow HH’s phrase “effortless style”. Demonstrates why Coonawarra’s red dirt is marvellous for Cabernet. 96% Cabernet 4% Petit Verdot. The Tally is the top Cuvée from Balnaves. Rich, medium to full bodied.

Medium plus crimson in colour. Strong Coonawarra mint on the nose and black currant. After a time eucalyptus/menthol notes. Classic Coonawarra Cabernet flavours with cassis to the fore demonstrating why it has been a great district for Cabernet for over 60 years. More opulent than savoury but still only medium bodied. Drink the last one in the next year or two.

Deep crimson. Notes of cassis, mint and bay leaf - also vanillan oak. Medium bodied with fine grainy tannins. A long future ahead even though 10 years old now. A great accompaniment to BBQ Cape Grim Rib and Waygu on New Years Eve.

Awesome medium to full bodied with Gobs of fruit. Tried another vintage years ago and was ok. Now somebody has greatly improved this Very Good Cab. Seek out here and put in the cellar for 3-4 years.
