Conclusion: Excellent quality Cabernet Sauvignon from Australia, on the nose showing intense fruity characters and a freshness which is surprising given its age, highlighting the ripeness and quality of the grapes, with also good complexity. The palate is silky smooth on tannin, with a finesse which is difficult to find in the region. The good concentration and finish makes it one of the best wine on the palate I have ever tasted. Overall a very balanced and fruity wine that can still be further develop for another 4-6 years. 12/21/2015
