Outstanding deep purple/red colour and a fresh, bright, youthful blackberry and cassis aroma. Full-body, excellent depth, weight and structure. Concentration plus. Rich, dense, alluring. A superb wine and a long-term keeper (5% cabernet franc, 5% malbec).

There’s real power and style in this outstanding Cabernet. Glenn Goodall sources most of the fruit from Wilyabrup and Treeton. It’s highly scented but it is the palate that stamps its class. Power and structure with firmish but very fine chalky tannins, silky fine oak and superb fruit harnessed perfectly. A wine with a very long future.
