As a prototype for so many excellent Cabernet Sauvignon-driven blends with Shiraz from Yalumba in the decades to follow, this 50-year-old wine (which was recorked in 2012) remains in surprisingly good shape. Comprising all Barossa Valley fruit, the primary plum and blackberry flavours are now muted, but a rich chocolate-and-mocha mid-palate rolls playfully in the mouth. The structure is still bound by fine tannins, and with enough prevailing acid to keep the long flavour notes held clear and true.
