The famous Yalumba The Menzies Coonawarra Cabernet. Power with a veil of grace. It's dense and brooding and perched atop muscular shoulders.
This sees 22 months in French and Hungarian oak. Blackcurrant and blackberries cut loose - this is very Coonawarra from the outset. Tar and leather plus scents of boot polish too, ripples of dried herbs and faint a mintiness reach out. Oak spices add further interest culminating with soft powdery tannins. And that length! Yes! Already with some good age under its belt, this will live long.
