Dark red. Strong varietal aromas of cherry, dark plum and cigar box, plus a note of raw meat. Broad and smooth, with ripe plum, boysenberry and date flavors. A very ripe cabernet, finishing with roasted coffee, tobacco and dark berry flavors and solid tannins.

Score 19/20 · Drink 2005-2015, Jancis Robinson MW, May 2005
Very deep crimson. Mellow, characterful, ripe and round. Sweet oak. Lots of intense fruit. This would knock the socks off a bordeaux in terms of intensity. Great balance. Ripe tannins still linger tucked in underneath. Neat finish. Very round. More strongly Oz than Cabernet. (JR)
