Peter Gago announced this as officially Australia’s most cellared red wine and it’s not surprising, because it synthesises the classic Aussie blend of Cabernet Sauvignon and Shiraz, here 53% and 47% respectively, with American oak. There are savoury, tapenade-like notes here, mingling with sweet cassis and vanilla. This wine displays a textured finesse with a berry and chocolate complexity and an elemental, bitey finish.
