McLaren Vale Cabernet smashing the ceiling. Woah, this is something.
This site was planted in 1971 and sits 155-233m above sea level. The fruit was cold soaked, saw 17 days on skins and spent time in new and used French oak.
Swirl the glass and absorb the scents. From the outset, you know you have a serious wine on your hands. Cigar box, cedar, wood smoke and wallet leather - come at me. It speaks of class, balance and poise. A blanket of powdery pillows of tannin is draped across the palate. A measured wine, there is some power yet it walks with grace. But that length. That mouthfeel. It's just brilliant! Cabernet lovers ought to go here and bow.
