Power and grace sum up this Big Bully from Briar Ridge best. Very Cabernet and showing all the varietal traits you'd expect, there is an energy and vibrance that cannot be overlooked and that was a consistent highlight over a couple of days of tasting.
Sourced from Wrattonbully, just up the road from Coonawarra, it is bursting with blackberries and blackcurrants. After dinner mints and barbecued capsicum tack for the ride. Black olives, dried sage and some pan juices add neat nuances. Drying with tannins edging towards the powdery spectrum, this is a Cabernet on the rise that is sure to develop and show better in the years to come.
Drink to eight years+
93/100
Region: Wrattonbully
