Eucalyptus on fleek. Still quite primary at 20 but shedding some tannin and likely entering a better drinking window.

This has a very cool-climate-feel to it, yet showes a clear Australian footprint. Cassis, grilled pepper, sandalwood, mint, tea tree?, ferrous minerality, resinous oak. Seems more Cab Franc than Sauv at the moment.
Really dig those classic High-End Ozzy Cabs like Penfolds' 707, Moss Wood CS and this one. Appreciate your suggestions in this direction. So, keep them coming..!

Classic wine. Not a dent in it. Will age easily another 15. 04 in 16. Mint chocolate and plum jam. Eucalyptus note.

Still a bruiser, eucalyptus, sage, wet earth. This has 15 years left.

We had the 2005 at the Cabernet tasting. No. 6. 15% alcohol. Great full bodied fruit flavours and intensity. Not particularly typical Cab profile. Will live for ages. Plenty of fruit tannin and acid.

Jul 3rd, 2015Serious and refined, maybe one step too refined, but undeniably well made. Bit too polished for my palate perhaps. Pedigree undeniable

A real behemoth at 17. Some nice fruit but still not integrated. A little hot for me. Needs some smooth edges that only time will remedy.
