Raspberry, vanillin oak and leather on the nose. Decent dense cassis and grippy tannin. It drinks quite well now but will benefit from a couple of years cellaring.

Deep dark ruby in the glass. Fruit forward nose of stewed plum and blackberry with a hint of spice and smoke. The stewed fruits carry onto the pallet with a touch peppery heat. Has a good body and grippy tannins. The wine is quite well balanced but lacks a little acidity and complexity. The finish is shorter than expected. Overall a solid drinking wine.

Still has tight tannins 9 years down the track, will hopefully open up with a bit more time. Other flavours are complex ... tatsumi plum, black pepper

An excellent can sav. A nice leathery mouthfeel.

Very rich, dense red, good structure and length with great fruit intensity and oak.

Excellent example of Coonawarra Cab. Better than I remember it from a decade ago. Surprisingly youthful and fruit forward.
