Top Notes For
This Cab aims for an understated personality. Nose is reserved, but gives up bright cassis, a smoky, iron-y note, and a grilled meat thing. In the mouth, it’s intense but on the leaner side, with surprising acids. Very good, but feels a tad contrived.

May 8th, 2016Bought this in late 2015.
Still far too young.
Drinkable none the less but could do with being buried in the cellar for a few more years.
Wonderful bouquet rich in trimmings from the coonawarra but all the properties have not yet introduced tgemselves to each other.
Wine maker. Gregory Foster.
The 2009 is ready for the pallet now.
Looks like the next one will be opened 2018.
Cant wait.
