REVIEWS

Halliday Wine Companion - Philip Rich

From 1976-planted cabernet vines, in Nillumbik. Only 600 bottles made and, according to the label, I tasted bottle number 143! Matured 17 months in 1st- and 2nd-use French oak. A deep, almost impenetrable, purple red. Concentrated and reticent with aromas of dark plum, blackcurrant, dark chocolate, cedar and ironstone pressings. Textured and layered with ripe, dusty tannins. A class act that will reward at least 10 years in a cool, dark place. 13.5% alc. To 2039. Rating 93

The Winefront - Campbell Mattinson

From vines planted in 1976.

This is a poised, polished wine boasting excellent length, structure and mouthfeel. It tastes of olives and blackcurrant, bay leaves and cedar, the integration of oak and fruit quite perfect, its leafier nuances tucked nicely within. This really is elegance in wine form. There’s a slight dip to the mid palate, as if cabernet’s want, but it quickly recovers as it sets sail for the finish. Stash it. It will mature beautifully. Rated : 94 Points
