97 / 100"Eden Valley, cabernet sauvignon and '12 is a potent combination, with guaranteed success, but excels itself in this wine with its joyous display of cassis, superfine tannins and all-encompassing freshness."
- James Halliday
Tasting Notes
The wine is restrained at first but opens up in the glass. Dark cherry and plum are the primary fruit characters with subtle vanilla and chocolate characters adding to the inviting aroma. A delicious rhubarb like character runs the length of the palate. The wine has ample tannin but it is supple and velvety. Restrained vanilla and creamy oak characters fill the midpalate. The wine finishes elegantly with intensity of tannin and flavour.
