There's a fair argument to position this wine as the leading traditional-styled Australian Cabernet at or around $22. Dry, sinewy, serious. Some spicy wood and long smooth tannin. Surprisingly classic in build but the fruit profile is friendly.. I'd expect this to go close to 10yrs.

"This is 50% merlot, 40% cabernet sauvignon & 10% petit verdot; matured in 13% new French oak for 11 months. Blackcurrant, tonka bean and wet coffee grinds. A touch of violet and cassis. Nigella seed, clove and black pepper. Oak gathers the deeply dense black fruit in its embrace, and the wine concludes with a tailored dry finish. Plush and well structured." 93pts | James Halliday | Wine Companion
