A dark, loamy style, boasting a very rich core of plum sauce and black currant fruit, pushed by fig paste and black licorice. Nicely toasty in the end, with bittersweet cocoa and espresso notes, but the mouthfeel is sleek and very long. Drink now through 2013. 280 cases made. 93 pts Wine Advocate August 2011
The 2006 Cabernet Sauvignon is decadent and alcoholic on the nose, although decanting allows the super-ripe cassis, black cherry and blueberry fruit to blossom and mellow. The palate is full-bodied with ripe, assertive tannins and layers of ripe black fruits cloaked in glycerine, but this Cabernet maintains impressive delineation. Unashamedly ostentatious and showy. This wine needs to be decanted for a couple of hours or leave it another five years to see what the secondary phase of evolution with bring. This is a class act. Drink 2016-2025.
