8.8

An elegant Australian CS, modern, polished and well appreciated by critics (scores in Australia of up to 95 points). I was expecting a more deep and intense wine, as I had previous versions, maybe the wine went for a dump period, or just needed decanting. Deep red color, nose full of red current, black current, blueberries, a touch of cherries, sweet spices and mocha, medium to full body with mild tannins a vibrant acidity. Interesting yet lacking complexity. My score 88, drink 2015 -2020.

A nice Australian CS, great for a casual dinner, and seems quit young given the vintage. Deep dark color, nose full of sun, black fruits, a touch of mineral, black current, medium body, with mild tannins, a pleasant finish. My score 87, drink to 2019

Cedry and capsicum, greeniness tasting notes to it. It would age, but very subtle now. Great length

One of the best Aussies cab I tasted ! Concentrated, balanced tannins. Coffee bouquet. 2009

Too often overshadowed by the Art Series Chardy, this Cab is benchmark Margaret River juice. Don't over think it, just drink it.

Good but a little shallow for my taste. Lacks some fullness.
