A classic Australian claret Wrattonbully style and this smashes the brief. Vibrant and downright delicious, this is a fabulous Cabernet Shiraz to rip into.
Scents of pan juices, mushroom broth and dried violets light things up before a swathe of energetic blackberries and black currants rise up. Subtle earthiness, red cherries and dark chocolate aren't far from the action and do their best to steal the limelight. Some savoury delights come in the form of dried sage and dried thyme with fine pillows of grainy and dusty tannins. The structure and shape are most impressive but what strikes me is its detail and presence, and even after a few days of tasting, it presented an attractive glossy sheen. Glorious!
Drink to eight years.
